  The effect of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) on their host galaxies -- in
particular their levels of star formation -- remains one of the key outstanding
questions of galaxy evolution. Successful cosmological models of galaxy
evolution require a fraction of energy released by an AGN to be redistributed
into the interstellar medium to reproduce the observed stellar mass and
luminosity function and to prevent the formation of over-massive galaxies.
Observations have confirmed that the radio-AGN population is energetically
capable of heating and redistributing gas at all phases, however, direct
evidence of AGN enhancing or quenching star formation remains rare. With
modern, deep radio surveys and large integral field spectroscopy (IFS) surveys,
we can detect fainter synchrotron emission from AGN jets and accurately probe
the star-forming properties of galaxies, respectively. In this paper, we
combine data from the LOw Frequency ARray Two-meter Sky Survey with data from
one of the largest optical IFS surveys, Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point
Observatory to probe the star-forming properties of 307 local (z $<$ 0.15)
galaxies that host radio-detected AGN (RDAGN). We compare our results to a
robust control sample of non-active galaxies that each match the stellar mass,
redshift, visual morphology, and inclination of a RDAGN host. We find that
RDAGN and control galaxies have broad SFR distributions, typically lie below
the star-forming main-sequence, and have negative stellar light-weighted age
gradients. These results indicate that AGN selected based on their current
activity are not responsible for suppressing their host galaxies' star
formation. Rather, our results support the maintenance mode role that radio AGN
are expected to have in the local Universe.
