Four Community Engagement Lessons from Detroit to Connecticut

I present four lessons for the field or for other community engaged scholars: Question assumptions with respect to the communities in which we are engaged (discussed and illustrated above). Conduct, support and publish more community-engagement research with students of color and communities of color at the center, and not in juxtaposition to normalized views of white culture. University or college funding opportunities to help support community-requested or negotiated engagement are a necessary and important investment. When engaging with communities outside of the classroom, you, your students, and your administration have to be willing to take measured risks.
