Community-Engaged Enquiry?
› What is community-engaged enquiry?
- Community: “A body of people or things viewed collectively… The civic body to which all belong; the public; society”
- Engaged: “actively employed or occupied; involved”.
- Enquiry: “The action of seeking, esp. (now always) for truth, knowledge, or information concerning something; search, research, investigation, examination”.
› “Seeking knowledge through active involvement with our society” ???
› What this is not:
- Community-embedded enquiry
- Community-relevant enquiry
- Community-engaged practice
› How do we involve the public in our collective search for understanding?

How do we achieve this?
› Isolated Examples: Community connections…
- Community-connected outreach: National Computing Summer School
- Industry-linked research: Australian Centre for Field Robotics
- Public-focused advocacy: The Conversation
› But how do we systematically bring this back into our T&L
- What limits us?
- Geographic separation?
- Pedagogic philosophies?
- Physical environment?
- How do we move to more diverse (blended) learning experiences.
