Summary
"With society confronting a gathering storm of reactionary political forces, we critically need a surge of progressive organizing and effective action to challenge the false messages of right-wing 'populism'. Outside the Ivory Tower speaks to that task. The book is a snapshot of the projects undertaken by activist organizations and academic researchers in the US who work together to marshal evidence in support of humane policies and progressive change across a range of fields and organizations. It offers examples of social justice projects that involve explicitly co-equal partnerships between the university researchers and the community-based organizations, and showcases the deliberate efforts of these programs to achieve organizational democracy and societal transformation"--
