Call for Papers: Sustainability in School-University Partnerships: Comparative and International Perspectives.

Journal: School-University Partnerships

Guest editor(s): Christine Becks, Danielle Gervais Sodani, Kim Stevens Barker, Morgan Z. Faison

This special issue asks how international, national, and local SUP experiences speak to the larger construct and mission of school-university partnerships, and how they persist beyond the short life cycle of projects and across varied educational contexts. The comparative approach offers new insights into universal and context-specific factors that influence SUP sustainability, offering scholars and practitioners a more nuanced understanding of how to build partnerships that can withstand systemic challenges and create lasting impact in a variety of communities.
