| Abstract: | The push toward efficiency in higher education is occurring as increasing numbers of faculty and students are struggling with mental health concerns and the world appears progressively polarized. However, education, at its core, can foster hope and effect positive change. This chapter presents a pedagogy of authentic hope that relies on constructivist, community-engaged teaching. As students become involved in responding to community issues, they develop a first-hand understanding of societal issues that fosters self-efficacy. These experiences can ultimately inspire students to be aware that they are part of shared, collaborative efforts that have the potential to dramatically improve our societies. |
