Thanks to everyone at Brown and beyond who has contributed to this website. The resources cited include both academic literature and community- and collaboration-generated publications because building on diverse sources of knowledge is an essential element of equitable, effective engagement. While there is no simple formula or one-size-fits-all model for community engagement, we hope these resources can be useful to people developing collaborative relationships and actions in their specific contexts.

We welcome feedback on the existing content and suggestions for additional content at engage@brown.edu.
