Lectures in Musicology: Elena Cruz-López and Jacob Kopcienski

Date: Oct 17, 2022 at 4:00pm to 5:30pm
Elena Cruz-López and Jacob Kopcienski, PhD candidates in musicology at Ohio State, present "Approaches to Community Engaged Research in the Humanities." This lecture is co-sponsored by The Ohio State University Libraries. In this talk, Elena Cruz-López and Jacob Kopcienski will share resources and strategies from the Michigan State University’s 2022 Summer Intensive on Community-Engaged Scholarship. They will outline the history and principles of community-engaged scholarship and highlight how humanistic inquiry adds these conversations, methods and practices. Using case studies from the workshop, they introduce useful resources and strategies for various stages of community-engaged projects, including defining research questions, identifying partners, developing methods, collecting and analyzing data, designing and evaluating programs, and assessing and reflecting on relationships built during partnerships. They will share resources from the workshop and across Ohio State’s campus that can support faculty, staff, administrators and students in conducting community-engaged work. The talk will be followed by a conversation and reflection about how to further cultivate community-engaged work in the humanities at Ohio State.
