Description
Preface At the risk of offending some of my colleagues, begin this essay with a decision to use my own voice as I review Engaging Departments. For most of my professional life in higher education and until recently, I was pressured to write in formal academic language--language that masked my identity, quelled my passions, and distilled my reflective inquiry. It is a time in my life, formally retired from a university role, when I am able to prioritize direction and focus on issues and developments about which I care deeply. The book I am about to review is related to one of my long-term commitments, one for which have devoted almost 20 years. I've facilitated, designed, written, coordinated, collaborated, mentored, pleaded for resources, cooked, marched, advocated, and taught to promote community engagement in higher education, so I look forward to this book.
