Celebrating a New Publication by Professor Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández
We are pleased to congratulate SJE Chair and Professor Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández on the publication of a chapter with co-author Sarah Switzer in the book , co-edited by Stuart Poyntz, Kari Grain and Am Johal (University of Toronto Press, 2025).
Written as a letter to "community-engaged research practitioners, dreamers, and co-conspirators,” the chapter reflects on five core commitments—"solidarity, participation, engagement, action, and futurity"—while grappling with the tensions and complexities that emerge in community-engaged research and practice. The larger work Critical Futures brings together scholars, community researchers, and activists to examine how community-engaged research is being reimagined amid ongoing social, political, and environmental crises.
