"This new edited volume will explore the challenges of undertaking effective community-higher education engagement in locales that have experienced dynamic changes in population or demographics; highlight the lived experience of institutional and community members as they experienced these changes; record best practices and 'what worked' in community engagement in such locales; and to present thoughtfully the picture of change in these places."
