Congratulations to Community-Campus Partnerships for Health on 15 years of social justice and community based participatory research

Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) is convening our 15th Anniversary Conference, April 18-21, 2012 in Houston, TX USA, to nurture a growing network of community-campus partnerships that are striving to solve our most pressing health, social, environmental and economic challenges. At the conference, we are announcing our new mission statement.   We invite you to read a paper prepared for the conference that explains our new mission and to join with us in embracing an agenda for community-campus partnerships in which the goals of health equity and social justice are at the forefront.

Higher education must join up internationalisation and development, by Ranjika Bhandari at US Int'l Inst. For Ed.

Thoughtful piece on the need to bring "internationalization" (the  reecruitment of students from the Global South to the Global North) and the challenges of  global povertytogether.  "We must do more to steer these bright minds towards solving regional problems" says  Bhandari.  This is a piece in a deeper discussion about the impact of unequal global development to the world of Higher Education.

End of 'Slave Trade' in Education

Dr. Olugbmiro Jedede, Secretary-General of the African Association for Universities has a very strong message in calling for an end to the 21st century brain drain of African students in Higher Education as reported by Times Higher Education Phil Baty.
