Professor Pamela Feldman-Savelsberg on her long-running Academic Civic Engagement course
Feldman-Savelsberg is Broom Professor of Social Demography and Anthropology at Carleton.
Pamela Feldman-Savelsberg, Broom Professor of Social Demography and Anthropology, has taught Anthropology of Health and Illness, an applied Academic Civic Engagement (ACE) course, for over 20 years. Emily Seru, associate director for academic civic engagement and scholarship with Carleton’s Center for Community and Civic Engagement (CCCE), recently talked with Feldman-Savelsberg about how this course came to be, how it has changed over the years to respond to student and community partner interests, and how her highly organized nature contributes to the structure, scaffolding, and integration of the ACE projects.
