The WWP curriculum

The Working with People curriculum builds a foundation for equitable partnerships between students, faculty, and community-based groups and non-profit organizations, by exploring the complex and contradictory contexts in which users, collaborators, and organizations live and work. This series of modules, resources, and exercises can be used as a framework to complement existing classes, or as a stand-alone short course or series of workshops in preparation for later partnerships.

About Working with People

“Working with People” fosters critical conversations around “civic engagement” and the pedagogy and politics of collaborating “with communities.” Using critical keywords and the juxtaposition of their multiple meanings, WWP teaches workshops, hosts symposia, develops curricula, and continues to build this website of public media, always looking for new partners and new ways that this work might help spur conversations on complex issues around collaboration, community, power and difference.
