Item Strengthening community university research partnerships: Global perspectives(University of Victoria and PRIA, 2015-08) Hall, Budd L; 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 Recognizing excellence in community engaged scholarship at the University of Victoria. Peer review guidelines for faculty promotion and tenure & impact rubric(University of Victoria, 2017-05-23) Tremblay, CrystalThis document provides an overview and suggested guidelines for evaluation and documentation in promotion and tenure of Community Engaged Scholarship (CES) at the University of Victoria. Te impact rubric and guidelines are based on a comprehensive literature review and empirical research conducted by the Office of Community University Engagement (OCUE) between August-December 2016 (See Impact Stories, an institutional assessment of CER at UVic).

It draws on 336 responses from 53 countries, looking at how universities and civil society organisations set up and sustain partnership mechanisms, from centralised university centres to independent bodies like science shops. Institutionalisation looks patchy across the board. And there's a real gap between universities' talk of co-creating knowledge and what happens on the ground: community-originated research stays rare, and CSOs keep running into limited funding and little say in decisions. What respondents value most is trust and mutual respect, even as mismatched timelines and clashing institutional cultures keep getting in the way. Training and steady funding come up again and again in what people recommend going forward.
