Texas State’s representatives from Hanover Research – Erin Bangsboll, Laura Bolling and Lindsey Bozzio- will join interested grantseekers at 9AM on Friday, 2/24, to introduce themselves and Hanover’s pre-award grantseeking support services, available to all College of Education faculty. After providing an overview of the University’s partnership with Hanover, the team will highlight the many ways Hanover can meet grantseeking faculty at multiple points on the proposal development spectrum, defining how faculty can request support from Hanover and associated timelines. The Hanover team will briefly review the “always on” resources faculty have access to, to include monthly webinars, forecasted opportunity calendars, and a digest of new funding opportunities.

Stories of Community Engagement and Impact: Positive Youth Development, Community Literacies, and Building Relationships

Friday, March 31, 2023

1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

REGISTRATION -- TXST Faculty, Staff and Students (Requires NetID)

REGISTRATION -- Community Member Registration (Open to All)

This interactive event will include stories of community engagement with Jesse, Lindsay, and Miguel, along with discussion time for participants to explore and re-imagine their community engagement work. Here is a brief description of the stories.

Jesse will include a discussion on approaches to community engagement that leverages resources and ties university, school district and others in the service of equity, access and education. What types of projects emerge from collaborative pedagogical communion?

Lindsay will share information about collaborations with afterschool youth development programs and community youth sport programs. She will also share how research findings and recommendations have been disseminated and used by these community collaborators.

Miguel will talk about the work of engagement is the spirit of his work and the space that brings his teaching and research to life. He sees this not as a project but as a relational process between culture, politic, and change. This work is not about outputs or accounting but about its impact on relationships, community change, and the development of sustainable communities and organizations. The idea of a public education system and pedagogy is a gift to a democratic society. This dynamic-critical process is what engagement in action looks like through his lens.
