Social Change, Public Policy, and Community Collaborations

With Social Change, Public Policy, and Community Collaborations, the editors present new and innovative scholarship aimed at changing the character of graduate and undergraduate education in human development-related disciplines. Not merely an academic exercise, the book provides a new vision for reforming the nature of higher education by promoting co-learning and collaboration between universities and the communities they serve. It is essential reading for anyone concerned with training human development professionals for the twenty-first century. The volume is derived from the papers and discussions from the Third National Conference on Applied Developmental Science.
