Jackson, Jr., Dean of the School of Social Policy and Practice, Richard Perry University Professor, and Penn Integrates Knowledge Professor; and Amitanshu Das, Senior Fellow and Director of GSE Films & SP2 Films, for an engaging program and discussion on community-based ethnographic films produced by students from Penn and West Philadelphia through the Center’s Academically Based Community Service courses. ABCS courses taught by Jackson and Das have engaged Penn students and local high school students in co-producing films on schools and communities in Philadelphia. Clips from students’ films will be screened and student participants -- including GSE doctoral students Richard Liuzzi and Rachael Stephens and alumna Dr. Veena Vasudevan -- will discuss their work with the audience.
