After years of curriculum development and writing time, we are excited to announce the release of: Preparing Students to Engage in Equitable Community Partnerships: A Handbook, (by Elizabeth A. Tryon, Haley C. Madden, and Cory Sprinkel; Temple University Press). From their press release: “[…the book] provides a wealth of valuable resources and activities to help impart ideas of identity, privilege, oppression, bias, and power dynamics to support students and community in these relationships. Believing that authenticity only comes about in an atmosphere of mutual respect and self-awareness, the authors argue for cultural and intellectual humility.”
