Week 4
This week's focus will be on your first assignment, due on Monday next week. For this reason we have scheduled fewer major activities, other than those outlined below.
Reflection on practice – “othering”
We’d now like you to reflect a little more deeply on interactions with communities and your role as community facilitator and capacity builder.
Read Kenny (2007) Chapter 8, "Understanding and responding to difference".
- Based on your reading to date, in what ways have "difference" been significant (or is it likely to be significant) to community engagement practitioners, such as biosecurity managers?
- Kenny S. (2007). Chapter 8: "Understanding and responding to
difference", pp273-301, Developing Communities for the Future. Nelson Australia.
Your research
During your preparations for Assignment 1, have you located any additional articles that you would recommend to other students or practitioners?
- Please post your citation on the Learnline discussion board, if you would like to recommend it to others or seek opinions about it.
