Grassroots Engagement and Social Justice through Cooperative
Extension grows out of a commitment to the belief that Cooperative
Extension professionals can and should be deeply engaged with the
communities they work in to improve life-individually and
collectively. Rooted in an understanding of the history and
development of Extension, the authors focus on contemporary efforts
to address systemic inequities. They offer an alternative to the
"expert" model that would have Extension educators provide
information detached from the difficult and sometimes contentious
issues that shape community work. These essays highlight
Extension's role in and responsibility for culturally relevant
community education that is rooted in democratic practices and
social justice. The ultimate aim of this book is to offer a vision
for the future of Extension as its practitioners continue to reach
for cultural competence necessary to address issues of systemic
injustice in the communities they serve and of which they are a
part.
