2009 EHRLICH CIVICALLY ENGAGED FACULTY AWARD
Critical Pedagogy and Community: Engaging the School of Social Life
In partnership with Campus Compact, AAC&U welcomes Thomas Dutton, Professor of Architecture and Interior Design and Director of the Center for Community Engagement at Miami University, recipient of the 2009 Thomas Ehrlich Civically Engaged Faculty Award. Each year, Campus Compact recognizes and honors one faculty member for enhancing higher education’s contributions to the public good through scholarship that advances students’ civic learning while meeting community needs. Professor Dutton’s research focuses on the connections between critical pedagogy, architectural education, and urban theory and social practice. Through the Center for Community Engagement, Professor Dutton and his students design and rehabilitate housing for low- and moderate-income people in inner-city Cincinnati. The award is named in honor of Thomas Ehrlich, former Chair of the Campus Compact board of directors and President Emeritus of Indiana University.
