Spectrum of Engagement - Episode 3: Involve

Host and former CEL Manager Rhianna Nagel (she/her) and current CEL Coordinator Rosa McBee speak with UVic faculty member Erin McGuire (they/them) about what doing community-engaged teaching can look like. They chat about the motivation to teach with CEL as a pedagogy, how to navigate and adapt to changing expectations and timeframes, and share tips for instructors who want to try teaching with community for the first time!  More about our guests... Erin is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Victoria and holds a PhD in Archaeology from the University of Glasgow.
