Changing the World: Growing Young Leaders - UC Education Abroad

, 01 01:01:01 PDT

A medical evacuation from India due to malaria didn’t deter UC Riverside student Samantha Wilson from wanting to make a difference in the country. Upon returning home, the then-junior began working with schools in South India to develop a curriculum that would shift the focus from creating child laborers to creating child leaders. With the program now serving over 100 children in South India, Wilson has now brought the Child Leader Project home to Riverside, serving local youth through a community garden and an exchange program that brings the youngsters to India to connect with fellow participants.

E.J. Dionne Jr. - Our Divided Political Heart: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent

Mon, 01 Oct 2012 24:00:00 PDT

Fear of decline is one of the oldest American impulses. When we feel we are in decline, we sense that we have lost our balance. We argue about what history teaches us—and usually disagree about what history actually says. We conclude that behind every crisis related to economics and the global distribution of power lurks a crisis of the soul. In “Our Divided Political Heart: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent,” the Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne argues that underlying our political impasse is a lost sense of national balance that in turn reflects a loss of historical memory. Americans disagree about who we are because we can’t agree about who we’ve been. Series: "Walter H. Capps Center Series" [Public Affairs] [Education] [Show ID: 24272]

From the Studio to the Classroom - The Teaching Artist

Mon, 03 Sep 2012 52:00:00 PDT

Teaching artists, hybrid professionals who link the arts to education and community life, are redefining the roles that the arts can play in public education. Who are teaching artists? Where and how do they work? What new strategies might they offer to help ailing public schools? And, how can schools become generative sites of creative growth for artists, teachers and students? Nick Rabkin, a research affiliate of the Cultural Policy Center at the University of Chicago and the principal investigator of the Teaching Artist Research Project, discusses this new national study of teaching artists and their work in a dozen cities.

Everyday Life and Learning

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 88:00:00 PDT

Social anthropologist Jean Lave argues that all theoretical problematics across the social sciences include assumptions about learning, whether explicitly or not. She says that learning is integral to conceptions of knowledge, inquiry, revolution, and changing practice, to name a few. Accordingly, social scientists have substantive stakes in the issue – historical, cultural, spatial, political, and social.
