Synopsis

This edited volume examines the role of the modern university as a public good institution ethically engaged in social transformation. Featuring contributions from internationally recognized scholars across both the Global North and South, this collection contexualizes issues in higher education such as community engagement, service learning, citizenship and civic responsibility both locally and globally (e.g., local, regional, national, and global engagement). Each chapter addresses the intangible, multifaceted dimensions of the relationships, community impact, and knowledge generation associated with community collaborations. In this way, the volume contributes towards the possibility of re-imagining the role of the modern university beyond a market-oriented, passive, and de-solidarized practices towards a more ethically engaged paradigm based on principles of mutuality, reciprocity and social responsibility.
