cPARN Initiates Research Project, Attending Seminar in UK this Summer

cPARN has begun a research project tentatively titled "Engaging Research: Graduate Students, Engagement, and the Land Grant Mission."

Over the next six months cPARN members John Armstrong, Todd Dickey, Justine Lindemann, and Melissa Rosario will be doing interviews, holding focus groups, and analyzing discourse to study the connections between graduate student research, engagement, and Cornell University's land grant mission.

Over the summer, this research will take these cPARN members to a doctoral seminar being held at Bristol University in the UK to convene with other graduate students pursuing similar research in their home institutions.  We hope this initiative can help inform policy and practice for Engaged Learning + Research at Cornell as well as build cPARN's base of contacts with international institutions of action research.

If you have any questions regarding the scope of this research please feel free to contact John Armstrong at jaa286[at]cornell.edu.
