In this fall issue of Partnerships, we are pleased to feature case studies that highlight effective collaborations with both local and global connections To stimulate your own research, teaching, and planning strategies for the new year, we invite you to read Baxter and Marshall’s account of the infrastructure, development, and success of an oral history project with a local museum featuring the voices of Chinese-Americans and Chinese-Canadians. You will find innovative practices and suggestions for how people, politics, and connections are forged in Malm, Prete, Calamia and Eberle’s article of a community-campus partnership to produce an annual arts festival. Moving beyond the local to the global scene, Long and Campbell demonstrate how strategic and practical support for an international service-learning program rested on a tripartite collaboration. Finally, Dumlao reviews what is being recognized as the first edited volume on research for international service-learning. Taken together, these articles elaborate on diverse approaches for building and sustaining strong civic ventures.
To make this issue of Partnerships possible, many people provided valuable time and support to the authors. Our new editorial board made policy decisions and new reviewers strengthened the intellectual base for meaningful and timely feedback to authors. We also welcomed Mark Congdon as editorial assistant and Susan Ladd as copy editor.
In 2013, we invite you to look for a special issue dedicated to North Carolina Campus Compact’s Civic Engagement Institute theme, Becoming Citizens, Becoming Community.
Also in 2013, work will commence on another special issue to be published in 2014, Teaching Democratic Thinking. Inspired by a three-year long research seminar of the same name at Elon University, special guest editors Stephen Bloch-Schulman and Patricia Rogers with editorial assistance from Maggie Castor will be soliciting abstracts due in February. Look for details to be posted soon on our home page.
