Positionality
Brief
Stanford students taking classes focused on community-engaged learning often had a great textbook definition of positionality and related themes such as class, race, ability and gender however, this knowledge often did not translate into more meaningful, engaged and intentional partnerships with their community partners. This project culminated as a part of the ‘Learning Experience Design’ course at the Stanford School of Education.
