Reviews

An inspiring vision of how universities around the world can create more just, equitable, and prosperous communities. Hoyt and her collaborators demonstrate how seven universities on six continents strive to tackle pervasive challenges to civic life, such as racial injustice, poverty, and illiteracy, by deploying unconventional research and teaching methods. This is a fundamental guide for activist scholars dedicated to the practice of civic engagement and social responsibility. --Alan D. Solomont, former U.S. Ambassador, and Pierre and Pamela Omidyar Dean, Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life, Tufts University
