Joining or creating an URBAN Node gives you the opportunity to bring community-engaged researchers and community leaders together locally and as a part of a national network where scholars, students, community members, activists, and artists can learn, share resources, discuss pressing issues of the processes and implications of engaged research—and work together on the basis of common values.
Chapters of URBAN categorized by location.
Chapters of URBAN categorized by discipline.
URBAN Nodes play a vital role in the organization, and all official nodes are represented in the organization’s steering body, the National Planning Team. Additionally, being an official node provides local and discipline specific group access to a network of public scholars who are at the forefront of critical community-based scholarship and critical civic engagement.
