Connecting Latinx Communities and Higher Education

Compact Nation Podcast

Tune in to this episode of #CompactNationPod for an engaging conversation as part of Hispanic Heritage month. Join co-host Marisol Morales as she interviews Mari Castañeda and Joseph Krupczynski of University of Massachusetts Amherst about their new book, "Civic Engagement in Diverse Latinx Communities." This book is the first civic engagement publication of its kind, giving examples of asset-focused partnerships between Latinx communities and higher education institutions from contributors who all identify as Latinx. Hear from Mari and Joseph about building community, love as a critical practice, and how their paths brought them to this work.
