Download or read book Grassroots Engagement and Social Justice through Cooperative Extension written by Nia Imani Fields and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grassroots Engagement and Social Justice through Cooperative Extension grows out of a commitment to the belief that Cooperative Extension professionals can and should be deeply engaged with the communities they work in to improve life—individually and collectively. Rooted in an understanding of the history and development of Extension, the authors focus on contemporary efforts to address systemic inequities. They offer an alternative to the “expert” model that would have Extension educators provide information detached from the difficult and sometimes contentious issues that shape community work. These essays highlight Extension’s role in and responsibility for culturally relevant community education that is rooted in democratic practices and social justice. The ultimate aim of this book is to offer a vision for the future of Extension as its practitioners continue to reach for cultural competence necessary to address issues of systemic injustice in the communities they serve and of which they are a part.

Book excerpt: The Smith-Lever Act of 1914, which created Cooperative Extension, provided a connection between the land-grant universities and communities. Rural communities benefited from access to education and research that improved their lives, businesses, and communities. Cooperative Extension has changed as society has changed, increasing content that is provided and access to new audiences. The original model for program delivery for Cooperative Extension is the expert model, which is characterized as a top-down approach, where communication and expertise originate from the university and Extension relays resources determined to meet local needs. Cooperative Extension has been encouraged to adopt a more engaged model of program delivery since as early as the 1960s. An engaged model of program delivery is characterized by shared expertise and learning as the community and Extension work together to identify problems and solutions to challenging, complex issues. The calls for greater engagement in Cooperative Extension are echoed in higher education as it is challenged to connect with local communities. This qualitative study explored the meaning of an engaged model in Cooperative Extension, including how and why Extension professionals apply the engaged model in their work. In addition, the study identified barriers that prevent and drivers that encourage the use of the engaged model in Extension, focusing particularly on two states. Findings from this study are intended to encourage greater adoption of the engaged model in Cooperative Extension. In addition, the study seeks to provide a mechanism through which Cooperative Extension can provide leadership in guiding higher education to greater engagement. The findings support use of both models in Cooperative Extension and in higher education, but suggest program development and implementation needs to be most closely aligned with the engaged model. Stronger relationships among professionals throughout higher education organizations, including those at local and campus locations will allow the higher education to build on the strong community connections maintained by Cooperative Extension. This will not only provide communities with increased access to resources that will help resolve the major challenges they are facing today but will also provide increased capacity in shaping their future. Engagement of higher education can successfully intertwine the three missions of the university: Extension, research and academic instruction.
