This volume offers replicable approaches for centering equity as a core value in community-campus relationships.

Through interrogation of contemporary practice, chapter authors examine the many ways in which equity is deliberately centered in community relationships, practices, research, and pedagogies, thereby accounting for how equity is defined, perceived, and shaped across diverse cultures, perspectives, and institutions. With a focus on relationship-building as a pathway to meaningful community engagement, contributors reflect on successes, obstacles, and moments of vulnerability, describing how relationships were initiated and lessons learned to ensure equitable values were centered and upheld. The text concludes with a meaningful discussion on the implications of these practices and the future of this work: equity continues to be a foundational element of any community-campus partnership.

This book will be an essential resource for academics and communities alike, particularly community partners, graduate students, scholars, and faculty who seek to center equity within their community-engaged work.
