Student Showcase for Community-Engaged Learning at the CELO Awards Reception
On Friday, May 1st, the Student Showcase of Community-Engaged Learning and Awards Reception was held at the University of Vermont’s Alumni House. This event served as a critical platform for presenting the culmination of the wide variety of exceptional work done in Community Learning (CL) and Service Learning (SL) courses at UVM.
The presentation focused on the intersection of digital media and community narratives, exploring how digital archives can serve as a vital tool for documenting local history and fostering cultural visibility. By engaging with community partners and fellow researchers in the Silver Pavilion, ethical considerations of grassroots storytelling and the role of accessible media in academic outreach were discussed.

Emma Stockwell participated in the NECLAS 2025 conference, held November 7–8 at the University of Vermont, where she presented research on the role of community archives and oral histories in Latin America. Her paper explored how grassroots narratives challenge dominant historical frameworks, particularly in contexts shaped by migration, displacement, and environmental resistance. Engaging with the conference theme—“Borders, Crossings & Environments: Narratives, Archives, and Encounters”—Emma contributed to interdisciplinary discussions on memory, territory, and social justice. Her participation also included attending workshops on decolonial pedagogy and transnational mobility, enriching her academic perspective and expanding her research network.
