Right now, you can get 50% off of Grassroots Engagement and Social Justice through Cooperative Extension. Edited by Nia Imani Fields, Ed.D., and Timothy Shaffer, the book includes a variety of perspectives on higher education and its impact on communities. Engaging with some of this content now is more important than we realized just a few years ago. A review by Emily Phaup, Ph.D. in the International Journal of Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement offers an overview of the volume from Michigan State University Press. "In this influential book, Nia Imani Fields and Timothy J. Shaffer introduce readers to the barriers Cooperative Extension has faced in achieving its aspirational mission. While acknowledging this uncomfortable history, they do not dwell here. Rather, they lay out a promising path forward through deep engagement to address systemic inequities in communities. Using countless inspirational examples, they demonstrate a new approach to Extension programming rooted in social justice. This includes practical guidance for partnership development and program planning to address society’s most timely challenges and meet the pressing needs of communities. Extension professionals who are ready to think differently about the organization’s role and responsibility in our evolving world will find transformational potential in this much needed book." https://lnkd.in/ePrF_ajw
