New from Metropolitan Universities Journal
Vol. 34 No. 5 (2023): Developing and Sustaining Institutional Support for Community-Engaged Research
Guest editors: Emily Zimmerman, Ph.D., and Sarah Raskin, Ph.D., Virginia Commonwealth University
Community-engaged research is a critical component of the community engagement landscape, as well as broadening the research enterprise at urban campuses to include communities. Creating the essential infrastructure to support this work requires new ways of thinking about the role of institutions and interdisciplinary programs in community engagement, research development, and research support. Applying the models and frameworks in this issue can provide approaches for campuses to strengthen and commit to community-engaged research in strategic ways.
The latest issue of Metropolitan Universities journal (MUJ), Vol. 34 No. 5 (2023): Developing and Sustaining Support for Community-Engaged Research is now available online. Published by the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities (CUMU), MUJ disseminates scholarship and research relevant to urban and metropolitan universities, exploring the relationship between campuses and communities. Articles amplify the mission of CUMU by reinforcing the value of place-based institutions and illuminating our collective work of supporting the changing needs of our students, institutions, and cities. MUJ accepts manuscripts on an ongoing basis.
