Abstract

 

 In the Exchanges, we present conversations with scholars and practitioners of community engagement, responses to previously published material, and other reflections on various aspects of community-engaged scholarship meant to provoke further dialogue and discussion. 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.
