exploring liveable spaces

I was delighted, this week, to meet with Nell Anderson about offering this class as a Praxis I/ Exploration/ Developmental course--Praxis I Departmental Courses provide opportunities for students to explore and develop community connections in relation to the course topic by incorporating a variety of activities into the syllabus, such as: field trips to local organizations, guest speakers from those organizations, and assignments that ask students to research local issues---

VERY nice! to have the financial support, of course, to pay for our multiple trips into the city.

But also most wonderful to be invited by Nell to think (even!) more expansively about what we are up to.

In line w/ some of her ideas are a few others received this week....
So great to have so many colleagues to think-along-with!
