Attend the inaugural Education for Citizenship address

The Ohio State community is invited to join Executive Vice President and Provost Melissa Gilliam and featured faculty speaker Winston C. Thompson at the inaugural Education for Citizenship Address on August 29. An internationally recognized philosopher of education concerned with social, political and ethical issues related to justice and education, Dr. Thompson will help us reflect on the importance of civil discourse and our Shared Values in a diverse world.

The 2022 Education for Citizenship Address is on Monday, Aug. 29, beginning at 7 p.m. in Mershon Auditorium. Dr. Thompsons presentation will be followed by light refreshments from Graeters Ice Cream in the lobby.

Tickets are recommended, and free through this link.

While many faculty, staff and students are actively conducting research in the community, the voice of community members is often missing or underrepresented in this work.

Four Ohio State faculty members recently completed a study to inform Ohio State leadership and researchers about community and neighborhood leaders' perspectives on Ohio State research, specifically as participants in research, but more generally as community and neighborhood leaders.

"Relationships are key to engaged research," said Jill Clark, associate professor in the John Glenn College of Public Affairs and one of the principal investigators of the study. "In a relationship, listening to what potential partners, collaborators, and colleagues are saying about their needs and wants and taking the time to learn historical and current perspectives on relationships with the university is foundational to that relationship."

Be sure to check out the webpage - "Broader Impacts at The Ohio State University and Beyond" - that includes information and resources around broader impacts for Ohio State faculty and staff, including how to request consultations and workshops.
