Item Perspectives on community practices: Living and learning in community(Znanstvena založba Filozofske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani, 2015) Krašovec, Sabina Jelenc; Štefanc, Damijan; Hall, Budd L; Tandon, Rajesh; Tremblay, Crystal; Singh, WafaItem Strengthening Community University Research Partnerships: Global Perspectives(University of Victoria and PRIA, 2015-08) Hall, Budd; Tandon, Rajesh; Tremblay, CrystalUniversities everywhere are being called to engage more closely with the communities around them. This book looks at what that actually means in practice. Bringing together perspectives from fifty countries and case studies from twelve, it explores how reciprocal research partnerships are built, supported, and sustained. The chapters show both the opportunities and the tensions of collaboration, and suggest how such partnerships can strengthen knowledge democracy while reshaping the role of higher education. By tracing patterns across regions, the book highlights the policies and structures that make engagement possible, while also pointing to the deeper cultural shifts that such collaboration demands.Item Global trends in support structures for community university research parnerships(UNESCO Chair in Community-based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education, 2014-09) Tremblay, Crystal; Hall, Budd; Tandon, RajeshAmid a growing recognition of the need for closer collaboration between higher education institutions and communities, this paper presents the findings of a global survey on Community–University Research Partnerships (CURPs), conducted in 2014 with responses from 53 countries. The study examines how these partnerships are initiated, supported, and funded, and highlights the differences in “knowledge cultures” between universities and community groups. Differences in the way HEIs and CSOs approach and use knowledge, where universities often focus on academic outputs and CSOs prioritize practical, community-oriented outcomes, shape the way these collaborations function. The research also highlights challenges such as limited funding and institutional support for civil society actors, and positions the need for stronger policies, equitable engagement, and sustained capacity building if these partnerships are to move beyond formality and realize their transformative potential.
