Call for Contributions
Manifestation: Journal of Community Engaged Research and Learning
Partnerships
Volume 2, Number 1, 2009
Funding Community Partnerships
The Editorial Board is pleased to announce the second call for
contributions to
Manifestation: Journal of Community Engaged Research and Learning
Partnerships.
About this Issue
In the movie, Caberet, Liza Minelli and Joel Grey sing the song
“Money”. The lyrics have been considered both a glorification as well
as a criticism of money culture. Whether or not you believe that
money makes the world go around, it certainly greases the wheels of
many productive activities.
Community-engaged research and learning partnerships are often labor
intensive and resource rich enterprises, however the value created and
needed does not necessarily fit easily into dominant fiscal or market
exchanges. As an example, the changes in perspective that bring
education and better living standards to women around the world are
often difficult to monetize. Not that it cannot be done, although one
needs to be very clever when evaluating perspective change when
compared to the relative ease of setting a price for a new product or
industrial process.
This issue of Manifestation is a call for contributions on the
practice, art, governance, management, and spirit that creates
mechanisms and understanding of how to bring together the necessary
resources to support community-engaged research and learning
partnerships. We are not only seeking “success stories” but also for
examples of challenges and conflict that represent the lessons learned
from the struggle to engage broadly.
