Engaged Learning

Engaged learning happens when a student has direct and personal connection with their studies. The Justice and Peace Studies curriculum bases this engagement on the “Circle of Praxis,” which integrates critical reflection and analysis with experience and action.

 

Through their internships, experiential learning and action research opportunities, students immerse themselves in organizations whose mission is to assist marginalized populations in our society. Urban immersion (HECUA) and study abroad programs broaden a student’s perspective on injustices and poverty, from the inner city of north Minneapolis to the most remote villages of Ecuador.
