ABSTRACT
Community-engaged work is not new to us. In fact, orientation in and with community has led to our community-engaged scholarship. The reasons for the development of our scholarly frame emerge from issues of power, knowledge creation, and sharing—as well as a desire to advance community goals. Sabina is from Nepal and has worked in public and community health internationally. Eric, while currently an assistant professor at Kansas State University, began his work at the nongovernmental organization Amizade Global Service-Learning. Eric’s research and practice focus on the development of intercultural understanding and global citizenship, with particular attention to opportunities for community-driven development. While the author have a relatively strong background in service-learning, international education, and campus community partnerships, without fully realizing it for the better part of the last decade she have actually been following a long-term commitment to publicly engaged scholarship and education.
