University-community relationships : the long view -- pt. 2. The engaged university -- pt. 3. An engaged university moment."University civic engagement encompasses a broad range of efforts to directly apply university resources to the communities and societies in which they are located. These activities include applied research, community service learning courses, education and training of non-matriculated groups, community development partnerships, and student volunteering. The Engaged University is a fully empirical account of a genuinely global movement of higher education institutions to increase university civic engagement. Based on the self-assessment policies and practices of an international network of over 20 universities committed to social and civic service, it examines the everyday their objectives, management and achievements. This timely volume offers three special contributions to the literature on higher education policy and practice: an historical overview of university foundation, which is demonstrated as having almost invariably incorporated a context-specific element of social purpose, together with a survey of how these "founding" intentions have fared in different systems of higher education; a contemporary account of the policy and practice of universities all over the world seeking to re-engage with this social purpose; and an overview of generic issues which emerge for the "engaged university.""--Provided by publisher.International studies in higher education.Community and collegeCross-cultural studiesHigher education and stateCross-cultural studiesEducation, HigherSocial aspectsCross-cultural studiesEducation and globalizationCross-cultural studiesCommunity and collegeHigher education and stateEducation, HigherSocial aspectsEducation and globalization378.1/03EDU000000EDU001000EDU015000bisacshAL 20100rvkAL 46950rvkDM 3000rvkWatson David1949-1650178MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814475903321The engaged university3999415UNINA
