Engaged scholarship is about merging the academy and broader civic community. Students inform scholarship through civic action. But, increasingly, students are entering and departing the academy unprepared for civic engagement; a process that is best integrated throughout students’ education process. The focus of engaged-scholarship in higher education at the end of the formal learning continuum is not enough. A model of integrative learning is explored with discussion regarding the role of the academy as a leader in the change process.

Impartial mediation requires a mediator to self-examine and identify unconscious biases that can affect the mediation process. For Elder Mediation training, self-examination delves into aging and disability-related biases and perceptions, assumptions about capacity, and judgments about the mental and physical effects of aging. This workshop will present information about 1) how to uncover bias in oneself, 2) the most common age-based biases held and why we have them, and 3) will discuss some creative ways that elder mediation training helps mediators self-assess and bring the unconscious to the surface for thoughtful examination.
