Textul de pe ultima copertă
“This is a fascinating, scholarly and informative synthesis of the history of UK community-university engagement and will be essential reading for anyone who wants to make sense of the past in order to progress future agendas in this area. A great read.”
—Angie Hart, Academic Director, Community University Partnership Programme, University of Brighton, UK
“This book is pertinent for an in-depth understanding of University-Community partnerships that challenge all European Universities. The notions of engagement, reciprocity or mutuality differ according to the socio-political context, civic traditions and social policies of the European regions. This book is a must read for those who want to make a difference in their Universities and their Communities.”
—Maria Vargas-Moniz, President of the European Community Psychology Association.
“Kagan and Diamond’s analysis of University-Community engagement in England, is highly relevant for the challenges facing higher education in many places but particularly in Mexico where higher education has to move from existing verticality and authoritarianism, to become socially more relevant.”
