This chapter offers instructors in higher education some basic tools and elements of course design for interreligious encounter in the undergraduate classroom. Aiming at practice over theory, it provides practical suggestions for fostering interreligious understanding from the first day of class through the end of the semester. These suggestions include the use of guest speakers, interdisciplinary case studies, in-class reflections, and interreligious community engagement (i.e., “service learning”), among others. Further, it provides a concise bibliography of basic introductory texts for both students and instructors in the areas of comparative theology, theologies of religions and religious pluralisms, and interreligious studies and dialogue.

The Subject

This study explores the subject of design and community engagement with regard to light as a transformative material in urban “night” spaces. Four unique case studies, each of which originated under the auspices of meeting specific site purposes or needs, nevertheless all represent the successful coming together of design, local suitability and ultimately, community support and participation.

El documento describe el desarrollo de casos de estudio como investigación aplicada producto de un marco teórico básico y la experiencia de los investigadores y la viabilidad de su uso como herramienta académica y de vinculación. En concreto, el escrito describe la experiencia de la investigación aplicada recientemente, que produjo dos estudios de casos de pyme panameñas. La investigación anterior incluyó además de la escritura de los casos, la propuesta de una guía básica para la redacción de casos de estudio, que se utilizará con fines académicos. Los casos fueron validados para el aprendizaje y la enseñanza por grupos de estudiantes y pares académicos. Además de compartir esta experiencia que produjo la guía básica, consideramos importante explorar el desarrollo de casos de estudio como una herramienta para la vinculación de la Universidad y la Comunidad. Por lo tanto, este trabajo, además de explorar las opiniones de los dos primeros grupos sobre el uso de casos para fines enseñanza-aprendizaje, se complementa con las opiniones de un grupo de empresarios de PYMES.   Abstract. The paper describes the process of developing case studies for academic purposes within panamanian University, acccording to previous training and practically experience of the researchers. Specifically, it describes the experience of the applied research that produced two cases studies of Panamanian SMEs. The previous research included besides the cases, the proposal of a basic guide for writing case studies to be used for academic purposes. The cases utillity for learning and teaching purposes were validated by groups of students, and academic peers. In addition, besides sharing this experience that produced the basic guide, we considered important to explore the development of these case studies as a tool for University and Community engagement. Therefore, this paper, in addition to exploring the opinions of the first two groups on the use of case studies for academic purposes, it is complemented by a focus group lead of SME´s entrepreneurs, who explore the potential of fostering the development of this type of applied research.

Hybrid Methodology

This Chapter draws from studies in geography and anthropology, diasporic and postcolonial studies to explore the operation of transformation discourse within the archive showing also the importance of the emergence of a hybrid methodology for the presentation of cultural origin, contexts of digital displays and interpretation of archival materials. In particular, the chapter looks into the use of participatory forms of appraisal in the context of the creation of community archives. The case studies for this chapter include Thomas Allen Harris’s multimedia community engagement archival project Digital Diaspora Family Reunion (DDFR); ‘Creating Collaborative Catalogues’, a collaboration between Ramesh Srinivasan, Robin Boast, and Jim Enote; and a number of educational projects by the Museum of the African.

Measuring Efficiency

Evaluation of community engagement has historically avoided or ignored the question of the efficiency of the processes used. This paper suggests a way of measuring efficiency that is robust, quantifiable, straightforward to calculate and intelligible. Curiosity about a striking feature of two case studies led to the realisation that there are significant parallels between community engagement and theoretical ecology. Some of these parallels are briefly explored before the ecology analogy is used to construct a numerical measure of the efficiency of community engagement. Possible applications of the new measure are then discussed. An illustration of the method by which the new efficiency measure is computed is given in an appendix.

Health And Well Being

The potential of merging anthropology and mapping became clear to us (guest editors Namino Glantz & Ben McMahan) as we sought novel means of improving health among the elderly in Mexico. To share our own experiences and hear about others, we organized a session—The medical anthropology-map merger: Harnessing GIS for participatory health research—at the Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA) Annual Meeting, held in March 2007 in Tampa, Florida. Presenters detailed case studies to explore how mapping strengthened health research by enriching understanding of the dynamics of health and well-being, and by promoting community engagement in research and intervention. At the same meeting, the PA editors agreed to dedicate this issue of Practicing Anthropology to showcasing the innovative directions that anthropology can take by incorporating participatory mapping. Featured authors—nearly all participants in the SfAA session—illuminate and expand upon the themes Mark Nichter mentions above.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the major factors necessary for engaging university campus community in sustainability. While general awareness in sustainability issues has improved in recent years through mass media coverage, this knowledge is not always translated into actual sustainable practice. Studies have indicated that there are many factors for engaging the community in sustainability. Design/methodology/approach – A multi-disciplinary literature review is first undertaken to distil the drivers that enhance participation in sustainability programmes by the university community. Next, to illustrate the applicability of the factors identified in the community engagement framework, two case studies are undertaken to highlight the importance of the identified factors in influencing the level of community participation in their sustainability programmes. Findings – The 6-P framework for community engagement includes factors such as psychological needs, physical facilities, personal motivations, public perception, price mechanisms and policies. The case studies of two universities’ sustainability projects illustrate that the framework is highly applicable to university communities. Originality/value – While research on behaviour change has been undertaken by various disciplines such as urban planning, marketing and psychology, these have been done in isolation. The originality of this paper is therefore achieved by drawing together the knowledge from these well-established disciplines to develop an original 6-P framework. This framework has the potential of assisting university leaders in the development of their community engagement strategy to mobilise and motivate their community members to take practical steps towards building a sustainable campus. However, the robustness of this framework will need to be further validated in future studies.
