In this section, we invite our readers to offer their thoughts and ideas on the meanings and understandings of engaged scholarship, as practiced in local or faraway communities, diverse cultural settings, and in various disciplinary contexts. We especially welcome community-based scholars’ views and opinions on their collaborations with university-based partners in particular and engaged scholarship in general.  In this issue, we discuss the recent changeover of leadership at The Engaged Scholar Journal with Dr. Natalia Khanenko-Friesen, who has recently left the University of Saskatchewan to assume new posts at the University of Alberta, and Dr. Lori Bradford. Managing Editor Dr. Penelope (Penny) Sanz takes both through a conversation about the inception, current state, and future goals of the journal, and their reflections on engaged scholarship as a career.

Community Engaged Scholarship

Community-based management research is a collaborative effort between management, academics and communities in need with the specific goal of achieving social change to foster social justice. Because it is designed to promote and validate joint methods of discovery and community-based sources of knowledge, community-based management research has several unique characteristics, which may affect its execution. This article describes the process of a community-based management research project which is descriptive in nature and uses quantitative techniques to examine school efficiencies in low-income communities in a developing country – Bolivia. The article describes the partnership between a US-based university and a Bolivian not-for-profit organisation, the research context and the history of the research project, including its various phases. It focuses on the (yet unpublished) process of the community-based research as opposed to its content (which has been published elsewhere). The article also makes the case that the robust partnership between the US-based university and the Bolivian NGO has been a determining factor in achieving positive results. Strengths and limitations are examined in the hope that the experience may be helpful to others conducting descriptive quantitative management research using community-engaged frameworks in cross-cultural settings. Keywords: international partnership, community-engaged scholarship, education efficiency, multicultural low-income education.

The Relationship of School, Parent, and Peer Contextual Factors with Self-Reported Delinquency for Chinese, Cambodian, Laotian or Mien, and Vietnamese Youth

Chinese Group

The study of delinquency has focused on examining the relative predictive value of school, parent, and peer contextual variables, but relatively little research has included Chinese and Southeast Asian youth. Using data from a larger, community-based research study with 329 Chinese, Cambodian, Laotian or Mien, and Vietnamese youth, the authors found that peer delinquency was the strongest predictor of self-reported delinquency. However, its predictive power for the Chinese group is about one half that of the other groups. School attachment negatively predicted delinquency for Chinese and Vietnamese and for males and females but not for Cambodian and Laotian or Mien. Parent Attachment and parent discipline were found to be nonsignificant predictors. LISREL analyses also indicated measurement and structural invariance across ethnic groups, providing support for cross-cultural comparisons. Implications for interventions are discussed.

The overall purpose of this research was to identify systemic conditions within academia that are preventing researchers from engaging in CES, and ultimately, influence change in university policies and procedures pertaining to community-based research. Using interpretive phenomenological inquiry, four community-engaged social work scholars were interviewed about their experience with participating in community-engaged research. The interviews explored the experiences of community-engaged scholarships within the current academic context, and how their work is valued, recognized and rewarded by their academic institution. It was found that the participants had a common understanding that community-engaged scholarship and its research outcomes remain largely undervalued by the majority of academia. The participants provided many of their own personal experiences while also pointing out restrictive policies and practices at their university. The implications of these trends are discussed and entry points for change in the academy are highlighted.

And Training

For over a decade, the authors of this chapter have heard from community partners that many college students are unprepared for community engagement. This chapter makes the case for student preparation and training by examining the current literature regarding student preparation and the authors' own research. The authors offer guiding frameworks, teaching strategies, and theoretical orientations to support student preparation before and throughout community engagement to build transformative community-based learning experiences. Using examples from their own practice, the authors illustrate strategies that lead toward successful student preparation for cross-cultural engagement.
