Latest edition of Partnerships journal now available

Partnerships Logo_P onlyThe latest edition of Partnerships: A Journal of Service-Learning and Civic Engagement (Volume 7, No. 2) is now available online.

This election season reminds us that for our country to operate at its potential, we must build partnerships across partisan lines, between differing world views, and among diverse populations. We have plenty of such positive examples, role models, and programs operating in communities across the country as detailed in the articles and book reviews in this issue. In both domestic and international arenas, our featured scholars recognize that dialogue, problem solving, and collaborative goal-setting set the stage for ethical and effective high-impact programs.

The open access, peer-reviewed journal is hosted by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and edited by UNCG’s Dr. Spoma Jovanovic. The fall 2016 edition is available online here.
