Recenzii
"This volume will appeal to educators deeply invested in civic engagement for the public good. Readers will no doubt explore what the public good means to them and how they pursue civic engagement for the public good."
Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement
"Twelve senior and mid- /early-career Latino scholars contribute 11 chapters offering personal and critical reflection about how their work as faculty members connects with the civic mission of the university. In the concluding chapter the editors analyze the major insights that emerge from the contributing authors' lyrical memoirs, reflections, and poetry, using this information to create a new model of higher education for the public good, develop a sense of urgency to address it, encountered various barriers in promoting it, and used specific strategies to achieve it.
