| dc.description.abstract | The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship supports Haverford and Bryn Mawr students in gaining work experience with non-profit/community organizations, placing them in partnership with individuals already pursing justice work or funding independent proposals with a similar purpose. Since Haverford’s CPGC began operating in 2000, the college has continued to evolve as a small liberal arts institution with Quaker roots. What is the relevance of the CPGC today, over two decades after its founding? I argue that students’ CPGC Fellowship experience allows them to navigate important issues from the ground up, while being undergraduate students because of CPGC’s unique positionality as an internal Haverford academic funding center with an infrastructure that faces outward. This emphasizes ongoing connection with professionals and community organizers outside of academia. CPGC’s unique role of mediating in between Haverford and the outside world permits students to call upon their personal, professional, and intellectual sides, often at the same time. Moreover, the entire Haverford community can critically interrogate how intellectualism can be something expansive and applicable in real world civic engagement. | |
