More recently, postsecondary educators have started to ask more critical and practical questions related to education equity and engaged learning pedagogies. The new emphasis on equity addresses the changing realities and increasing demands on higher education for accountability and completion goals. Sponsorship: AAC&U will help promote, resell, and launch the book at its annual conference.
