The basis for this special issue of "Feminist Teacher" arises from a white paper ["Women's Studies as Civic Engagement: Research and Recommendations" (Orr)] presented at the 2011 National Women's Studies Association, which provides strategies feminists can adopt to continue the mission to foster social change in the community and the academy. It's an opportune moment for feminist scholars to intervene in divergent understandings of teaching, research, the value of higher education, and the role of the academy in creating and sustaining community activism. Given the commitment to advancing collaborative, co-equal relationships, this special issue on "Feminist Campus-Community Partnerships: Intersections and Interruptions" posits that learning focused on community engagement can contribute to interventions and intersections between academic communities and the communities in which they reside, as well as between teachers, students, and community partners.
