Vol. 34 No. 2 (2023) The Pedagogy of Place-Based Initiatives and Anchor Institutions

Guest editors: Patrick M. Green and Susan Haarman, Center for Engaged Learning, Teaching, and Scholarship (CELTS), Loyola University Chicago

Within the last decade, the community engagement field has seen tremendous development in the creation and utilization of place-based initiatives, particularly from an anchor institution lens. These initiatives have the potential to lead to community development and transform communities, but they also have the opportunity to transform how we approach teaching and learning. Beyond just programmatic applications, these approaches develop distinct pedagogical approaches to community-engaged teaching and learning.

This issue examines how an emphasis on the anchor institution framework and place-based initiatives impact the practice of teaching and learning in community-engaged courses.
