About this book
Reviews
Civic Engagement Pedagogy in the Community College arrives in a timely fashion. Community colleges serve diverse students in a vibrant microcosm of their surrounding local neighborhoods. These institutions have become a fiscally attractive option as college tuition and loan interest rates soar. In fact, President Barak Obama has even introduced a proposal to provide free tuition for community college students. Responding to the inherent value of these educational epicenters, these authors explore collective academic and social spaces in an urban community college. In their research, constructs of community and communal alliances are investigated and imagined. Using an interdisciplinary approach, these scholars blend theory and practice, inspiring students and educators to reconceptualize civic engagement on college campuses and in local communities.
