Gateways: International Journal of Community Research and Engagement

Vol 7, No 1 (2014)

Gateways’ seventh volume features articles that were originally presented at CU Expo 2013: Engaging Shared Worlds. This international conference is designed to showcase the best practices in community-university partnerships worldwide, and create opportunities for innovative and successful collaborations. This volume of Gateways demonstrates the creative and innovative ways in which academic researchers and knowledgeable community groups can work together to produce results that are important and useful to community, academics and policy makers. Many of the articles included here are co-authored, ensuring that partnership remains the hallmark of the research, right through to dissemination of results.
