Engaging Place, Engaging Practices: Urban History and Campus-Community Partnerships - Robin Faith Bachin

Descriere Engaging Place, Engaging Practices: Urban History and Campus-Community Partnerships - Robin Faith Bachin

\n \nColleges and universities in urban centers have often leveraged their locales to appeal to students while also taking a more active role in addressing local challenges. They embrace civic engagement, support service-learning, tailor courses to local needs, and even provide university-community collaborations such as lab schools and innovation hubs. Engaging Place, Engaging Practices highlights the significant role the academy, in general, and urban history, in particular, can play in fostering these critical connections.\n \nThe editors and contributors to this volume address topics ranging from historical injustices and affordable housing and land use to climate change planning and the emergence of digital humanities. These case studies reveal the intricate components of a city's history and how they provide context and promote a sense of cultural belonging.\n \nThis timely book appreciates and emphasizes the critical role universities must play as intentional--and humble--partners in addressing the past, present, and future challenges facing cities through democratic community engagement.\n
