In this episode, Prof Michael Fox, Dr Sacha Dewolfe, and Cormac Russell explain why they have decided to develop a new online course to enable Universities and educational institutions to better align with communities.
Mike has nearly five decades of academic and practical experience in community-engaged learning.
Sacha is the cohost of this podcast and is well known to our listeners. She is passionate about desire theory and indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing.
Cormac is also a cohost of the podcast and is passionate about Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD).
Together, Mike, Sacha, and Cormac explain how the wisdom traditions they each represent interweave in their new course.
We’ll share further details on our socials in the coming weeks. For now, we hope you enjoy our conversation about why we think there needs to be better alignment between universities and communities and how to achieve it.
