Course: CIVC 200 | Introduction to Community Engagement
Institution: Sewanee: The University of the South
Instructor: Dr. Amy S. Patterson
Excerpt from Syllabus
This course invites you, as members of the Sewanee community and beyond, to practice and reflect on one, or more, character virtues as they relate to community development, your role as someone engaged in communities, and your quest for meaning and purpose during your time at college and beyond. I will stress some virtues central in community development– humility, curiosity, hope– but there are many others that are applicable to our work and life goals. Virtues are broadly defined as “personal qualities that are morally worthwhile and that enable us to live productive, socially engaged and ultimately, flourishing lives.” (P. Watts, M. Fullard, & A. Peterson. 2021.Understanding Character Education, p. 23). Periodically we will engage with such questions as:
You will be asked to keep a “virtue journal” in which you respond to prompts.
About
Course format: The course uses a seminar, cumulative format that is discussion-based. A substantive portion of the grade is based on participation and reflections.
Virtues integrated: Curiosity, Intellectual Humility, Hope.
