Enacting Moral Imagination and Research for the Common Good

(0 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This immersive 8-week summer course, which builds on the NDBridge spring semester course, provides a structured framework for students to integrate their community engaged work and research with Catholic Social Teaching principles. Through weekly discussions, readings, and written assignments, students reflect on how they are cultivating a moral imagination, practicing ethical encounters, honing intercultural communication skills, and conducting research for the common good. The course culminates in a community engaged research project in which students apply concepts and principles from the spring NDBridge course, resulting in either a research paper, an original creative work, or an organizational contribution that they share with their site.
