But what does it really look like to bridge the divide between the proverbial “real” and “academic” worlds? Dr. Vicki Chartrand offers a “raw” account of her experiences offering a community-engaged-learning course through the Centre for Justice Exchange – a centre for collaborative community justices at Bishop’s University https://justiceexchange.ca/.
