Urban Research and Learning Loyola University (CURL)

Gateways provides a forum for academics, practitioners and community
representatives to pursue issues and reflect on practices related to
interactions between tertiary institutions and community organizations;
academic interventions in community; community-based projects with links to
the tertiary sector; and community initiatives.

The journal publishes evaluative case studies of community engagement
initiatives, analyses of the policy environment and theoretical reflections
that contribute to the scholarship of engagement. It publishes both refereed
and unrefereed articles.

The journal addresses community engagement occurring across scholarly
disciplines and at all levels of community including: capacity building
initiatives in diverse communities from young people, older people, people
with a disability, Indigenous communities and culturally diverse to
interfaith communities; health promotion and capacity building; community
cultural development (CCD); rural regeneration; housing and neighbourhood
renewal; information technology (IT) and public participation; collaborative
design and community safety; the environment and natural resource
management; corporate social responsibility; social enterprise and social
entrepreneurship; and triple bottom line accounting (measuring economic,
environmental and social outcomes).

The journal also aims to engage academics and policymakers more fully with
the concerns of the community and community engagement. It also seeks to
articulate creative tensions between theory and practice.

Community engagement seeks to promote institutional change in the ways in
which community, universities and government see themselves and their
partnerships. There is also an imperative to promote the value of research
that is driven by need as much as curiosity. Gateways will explore these
vital concerns for the enhancement of Community Engagement in its many
forms.
