Geography
Facing challenges to the civic purpose of higher education, some scholars and administrators turn to the rhetoric of engagement. Simultaneously, the political philosophy of cosmopolitanism has gained intellectual favor, advocating openness to the lived experiences of distant others. We articulate linkages between these two discourses in an extended case study, finding that a cosmopolitan ethos of engagement in a rural context can improve (1) understanding among people ordinarily separated by spatialized social-ecological differences, (2) prospects for longer term environmental sustainability, and (3) the visionary potential of collaborative inquiry. Despite globalization of food systems and neoliberal shifts in fishery management, an …

Health Management & Policy
Professionals from many different disciplines are finding innovative ways to work together to increase physical activity to help create healthier communities.

The process also helps communities find new and creative ways to pursue that vision by leveraging resources within and outside of the community. These resources …
Hop On The Bus, Gus: The Power Of Public Transit, Sonke Dornblut
Hop On The Bus, Gus: The Power Of Public Transit, Sonke Dornblut
The University Dialogue
As a society, we have designed a transportation system that appears to work quite well for most of us; all we have to do is hop into a car and we are going places! Unfortunately, that system doesn’t work for all of us. The barrier to participation is really quite high.

In order to receive at least some benefit, access by the non-driver must be facilitated. Access facilitation to …
