Call for Papers - Issue No. 4. Community Organizing and Higher Education in a Time of Crisis.

We invite submissions exploring the many ways that higher education and community organizing
intersect at this moment of significant political, social, and institutional upheaval. Across national
contexts, colleges and universities are facing mounting pressures: political attacks on academic
freedom and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work, demands to justify their civic and economic
contributions, and challenges to their role as institutions serving the common good. At the same
time, these pressures create new opportunities for partnerships, organizing strategies, and forms of
democratic engagement.

This themed issue seeks contributions that critically examine how community organizing is being
used to defend, re-envision, and transform higher education—and how colleges and universities, in
turn, can contribute to broader struggles for social justice.
