Abstract
B Based on the investigation of the Agricultural Humanity Curriculum Transformation Project carried out by the National Taiwan University from fall 2014 to spring 2019, our paper proposes the concept of "knowledge ties" between local places and the intellectuals of universities. We advocate that offering place-based curricula is a university social responsibility. Our data collected from the three-year processes where 49 professors and 2027 students have engaged in six communities. Case analyses include one in rural Pinglin and the other in urban Southern Wanhua. We argue the interdisciplinary place-based pedagogy in support of a wide range of subjects students and teachers would nurture a social network that sustains the learning and growing of both university and community.
