Let’s start at the very beginning: the impact of program origins and negotiated community–university partnerships on Canadian radical humanities programs

Examining these three iterations has revealed the significance of program origins, particularly the introduction of frame factors shaping student options and the potential for institutional change, and the importance of clarifying roles and expectations in community-university partnerships.

As well, we were actively involved in developing and sustaining our local version of this programme, with Tara, more recently, taking an increasingly hands-on role since the programme is now located at her university and with Janet participating through the programme's advisory committee.…”
