Colleges and universities in urban centers have often leveraged
their locales to appeal to students while also taking a more active
role in addressing local challenges. They embrace civic engagement,
support service-learning, tailor courses to local needs, and even
provide university-community collaborations such as lab schools and
innovation hubs. Engaging Place, Engaging Practices highlights the
significant role the academy, in general, and urban history, in
particular, can play in fostering these critical connections. The
editors and contributors to this volume address topics ranging from
historical injustices and affordable housing and land use to
climate change planning and the emergence of digital humanities.
These case studies reveal the intricate components of a city's
history and how they provide context and promote a sense of
cultural belonging. This timely book appreciates and emphasizes the
critical role universities must play as intentional-and
humble-partners in addressing the past, present, and future
challenges facing cities through democratic community engagement.
