Developing, Writing and Teaching Case Studies in Philanthropic Studies

Abstract

Teaching philanthropic studies globally requires an understanding of how context influences the nonprofit sector around the world (Casey, 2023). Cases studies allow students to peer into a situation and consider a decision-making process to understand how contexts, individuals, and processes influence outcomes. This poster presents my 5-step process of developing, writing, and teaching a teaching case study for an original elective course on philanthropy and the ocean for an international undergraduate student body. It highlights a pedagogical practice to enhance learning through active engagement, international examples, and connecting international students in the classroom.
