Dr Anna Maguire awarded the Outstanding Community-Engaged Learning Award

This award is for a module or course taught out of UCL East that focuses on teaching, curriculum, or students that involves community engagement. 

The MA Public History module Critical Public History programme (HIST0867), led by Dr Anna Maguire and Dr Mark Frost, champions community engagement. The core course module provides multiple opportunities for the students to learn about community engagement practice and to work with east London communities while undertaking their coursework.

The impact is a series of mutually beneficial relationships: with students embedding themselves in local communities, and local organisations gaining from the skills, time, and alternative approaches being brought in by the students.

Dr Antonio Sennis, Head of Department: “The fact that this is a core course (a notoriously difficult type of course to pitch right) seems to me to add a further dimension to Anna’s achievement! Brava Anna!”
