To my life? How will I help peers come to their own understanding of these important questions of the relationship of self to community? 2. What are some strategies and skills students need when working with community partners? That is, what does it mean to work collaboratively with others? 3. How can writing and reading help me (and then me help my peers) express, expand, and share what we learn through community engagement?
