Week 8 – Detroit Community-Engaged Research Program

Week 8

Seminar/group meeting reflection. Use this post to write about what you’ve learned from the seminars and group meetings. You can address one seminar or group meeting in particular, or address them all in a more general way.

 

I do not think I have learned much from the Tuesday meetings. For the most part, I feel like we were being talked at, and given information that could’ve been found just by going to websites. All and all Detroit has a lot of organizations that are doing really great things for the city, and it seems that most people in our program are at sites that really suit their interests

 

I have learned that there are so many places in Detroit I have not seen, and I am excited to explore the  city as I progress in life. The Dequindre Cut was cool and so was the Russel Industrial Center. This program creates a lot of great opportunities to showcase the best parts of the city and creates opportunities to challenge the negative views that outsiders have when they enter the city.
