Book excerpt: This book innovatively explores the policy, practice and pedagogy of community engagement in higher education settings. It contributes to the evaluation of adaptive practice and responses in addressing inequalities further exposed by the pandemic, and the role of higher education institutions within this. By exploring such themes, contributors highlight implications for future practice and suggest areas for further pedagogical development. The book also includes perspectives on the patterns of change in higher education asking crucial questions pertaining to its role in regeneration and recovery as it seeks to work for, within, and between communities and constituencies. While it foregrounds youth and community work, it makes wider and systemic connections between communities and higher education institutions.
