Partnerships: A Journal of Service-Learning & Civic Engagement
Partnerships Editorial Change
Since Fall 2008, Dr. Tracy Espy has served as the Partnerships editor, helping to launch and build this peer-reviewed journal that focuses on how theories and practices can inform and improve partnerships, connections, and collaborations. Under her leadership, we have published four issues, connected with national experts, provided opportunities for faculty to publish, and challenged the field to think deeply about our work. Dr. Espy also continued her work as provost at Pfeiffer University, managing a presidential vacancy and search. Tracy, you have helped us provide an invaluable resource to colleagues, sharing a big vision for this work. Thank you for your tireless efforts, and for your ongoing support! You have laid a strong foundation upon which we will continue to build.
Prof. Beth Warner from Elon University will now assume the role of editor-in-chief. Dr. Warner was a member of the faculty research team that encouraged the development of a journal that would examine community-campus partnership best practices. She serves as Associate Professor of Human Service Studies at Elon, recently assuming the additional responsibilities of Department Chair. Beth has also taught at Lander University, University of Georgia-Athens, Warren Wilson College, Cleveland State University, University of Akron, and Walsh University. She has been recognized by the Governor for her Outstanding Volunteer Service in Alamance County, NC. A prolific author in the field, research mentor, experienced social worker, and service-learning professor, Beth earned her Ph.D., Urban Studies and Public Affairs, and M.P.A. at University of Akron, and her B.A. in Social Work at Malone College in Canton, OH. Welcome, Beth!
Partnerships recognizes that successful engaged learning depends on effective partnerships between students, faculty, community agencies, administrators, disciplines, and more. The articles in this peer-reviewed journal focus on how theories and practices can inform and improve such partnerships, connections, and collaborations. Studies co-authored by faculty, students, and/or community partners; or examining practices across disciplines or campuses; or exploring international networks are all encouraged.
