Description

Students taking this course will critically examine the concept of community engagement within tertiary studies and how this concept is being implemented in Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, U.K., and U.S. tertiary institutions. This course will integrate academic content on community engagement with students' previous field experiences in response to the Christchurch earthquakes. This will provide students with an overview of how many different fields are contributing to our understanding of, response to, and mitigation of earthquake hazards in the Christchurch area.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of CHCH101, students will be able to:
1. apply theory critically to analyse community engagement
2. evaluate the impact of their own community engagement
