Boston, Massachusetts, America

The last ten years represent a significant period of reform in higher education across the globe. For example, regional governments and university consortia have undertaken projects to improve the competitiveness and overall 'quality' of higher education systems (e.g. the European Higher Education Area, ASEAN University Network), national governments and higher education institutions are renewing investment in marketing strategies to attract fee-paying international students, strategic policy shifts have taken place to use universities as magnets to recruit high-skill labour and researchers, and new expectations are placed on the academy to respond to changing political economies (e.g., calls toward more policy-oriented or community-based research).  For more information on the conference you may go to: http://www.aag.org/

About the Conference

We invite you to submit a proposal for a presentation or simply to come to learn about exciting community-campus research and action initiatives from across Canada and elsewhere in the world. The University of Victoria has joined hands with the United Way of Greater Victoria and many other groups in the area to plan a series of events and activities that are designed to strengthen campus-community partnerships for action towards the kinds of communities we want and need. Community-engaged scholarship, knowledge exchange for making a difference in areas of sustainability, poverty, housing and homelessness, healthy living, climate change, community economic development, social economy, food security, arts based activism, Aboriginal leadership in research are but a few of the areas to be touched. Come share your ideas, experiences, struggles and successes.  For more information please visit: http://www.cuexpo08.ca/
