A NEW Member Benefit!

The Critical Science Academy is an essential experience for all who are dedicated to the current and future work of Family & Consumer Sciences.  Organized through 8-asynchronous modules (and five additional synchronous workshop sessions), the Academy will lead participants through thought provoking, critical conversations that explore the disciplinary tools at hand to strengthen our collective ability to bring change to the lives of the people and families we serve.  This Academy will demonstrate how our shared FCS professional practice is strengthened through dedicated practice and application of the FCS Critical Science perspective including a renewed commitment to the FCS intellectual foundations; application of practical/moral reasoning to address complex current, perennial, and evolving problems; participation in the FCS practical-intellectual community; and sustained commitment to confronting injustices through transformative, collaborative professional action.
