Building Community One Structure at a Time: A Partnership between Social Work and Landscape Architecture Students
Cistrunk, Kenya M.; Tofte, Elizabeth P.; Rogers, Juriel A.
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education, v11 n1 p53-63 2019
Experiential learning is invaluable when promoting interdisciplinary approaches to teaching complex issues. This article reports on a five-week collaboration between undergraduate students in social work and landscape architecture courses, project impetus being a common-reading text. Students (n=54) constructed three-dimensional models of children's playgrounds and prepared academic posters describing restorative interventions based on their service-learning experiences with community partners. Projects were displayed at university-sponsored workshops. Participation in common reading programs has promising implications for interdisciplinary collaboration.
