This is the first course in ARC's three semester action research sequence. The Action Research Seminar is skills based. Students learn the interviewing, networking, and organizing skills that they will need to be effective agents of positive change.

Students learn to:

• engage the local community as active citizens
• develop skills important for community action leadership
• participate in team-organized community action projects
• form working partnerships with faculty, students, and community members
• draft pilot projects for long-term Bloomington-Normal community action internships
• present summaries of projects to interested audiences
