A Place for Play, A Place for Community: Foundry Field University of Notre Dame 2024-10-17 | How do we take the work that we do in a class and not just leave it in a class. History is active. Baseball has long been known as “America's pastime,” but not every culture sees themselves in the sport. That's where Katherine Walden and Clinton Carlson come in. The Notre Dame professors—Walden teaches in the Department of American Studies and Carlson in the Department of Art, Art History, and Design—have focused their research and teaching on uncovering and sharing the histories of teams like the Foundry Giants, a local team of Black players working in the Studebaker factory’s foundry.Their work makes up part of the living museum that is Foundry Field at Southeast Neighborhood Park, a quality public-access baseball field for children and adults in South Bend’s urban core. It's a collaborative community project led by the Sappy Moffitt Field Foundation, the University of Notre Dame’s Center for Social Concerns, the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center, and South Bend Venues Parks and Arts.Learn more about Professors Walden & Carlson's work: https://go.nd.edu/ead6e9Learn more about Foundry Field: foundryfield.org

Fighting to Improve Education Policies University of Notre Dame 2024-09-06 | There are 18 million adults in the United States who do not possess a high school diploma. In many states, after age 21 they are no longer eligible to receive one, and must get a GED, which typically offer less promising outcomes.Goodwill saw this gap and launched the Excel Center, an adult, tuition-free adult charter school that also offers services like childcare and life coaching, to ensure the success of their students.They saw what they believed was great success at their flagship, Indianapolis location, but they lacked data to help it grow, so they invited Notre Dame’s Wilson-Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO) to assess their program.Its study showed graduates from the Excel Center saw a 40 percent increase in earnings in five years. Graduates were also more likely to move into jobs that became careers, and to support their families long-term.Based on this data, states like Arizona have changed their legislation and pledged money to build Excel Centers.Learn more: https://go.nd.edu/ImproveEducationPolicies
