The #UARK Center for Multicultural and Diversity Education joined forces with our Department of Curriculum and Instruction last month to hold the inaugural Common Ties Conference.
“One of our goals for this project was to move from knowledge to informed action. We want the participants to transform their learning and thinking into tangible work accomplished in their chosen areas.” – Hung Pham, planning team member and director of the Center for Children & Youth in University of Arkansas College of Education and Health Professions
The Common Ties Conference served as the larger Common Ties Project kickoff. Participants will collaborate in small teams over the semester to design programs and curricula to address issues of personal and group belonging as applied to social studies teaching and the work of Student Affairs.
