The Swearer Center At Brown University

The Swearer Center at Brown University is home to a community of scholars, students, practitioners, and community members that work together to build on community strengths and to address community challenges. Our work engages all as co-learners, co-teachers, co-actors, and co-creators. Through the creative capacities of our students, faculty members, and community partners, we explore, build, and implement collaborative and strategic projects, programs, and initiatives. Our work in community engagement, engaged scholarship, and social innovation yields transformative learning and positive, sustainable change through collective action.
