So, let's take a moment to congratulate ourselves on the list. Do you know of anywhere else we could have had this conversation? We are in uncharted waters for the most part and for some of us it feels very risky to be making public our thoughts feelings and experiences. I want to suggest we take care then, of each other as we do this, that we choose our words with care and attention to how they may be heard. I know we don't do this well. I know we are trained in the university to make the argument as effective as possible and decimating someone personally is too often part of that intellectual scenario. How often did you have the professor whose attitude to a student question was "if you have to ask, you aren't smart enough to be in my class?" and witnessed an entire class reduce to silence for the rest of the semester? Or the professor whose approach to teaching as an unwelcome intrusion to his own work? How many graduate classes became a Roman arena of blood and guts as graduate students strove to impress professors by smart but cruel attacks on fellow students? And how many of us were lucky enough to have professors who challenged and taught us to think and speak in ways that respected the dignity of others? But for the most part we are taught to be independent and isolationist and competitive -sadly I think. There is a part of me, well trained by the university that loves research, loves the smell in the library at UBC and is never happier then when buried in research - alone,. I fight against this impulse the way Jesuits resist temptation!!! I have trained myself and had the support of academics to find a different stance - that sees the best knowledge as collectively generated from a 360 perspective and that makes things happen for the better as you do it. It is often messy, uncomfortable and often magical.=20 I am lucky though to have found this stance, some ways I am very lucky. I am too old to care about tenure, I love where I live and don't want to uproot to advance a career within the academy. I love the pace of life here in Prince George, the friendliness and the fact I have a regular moose visit my one and a half acres and a bear who passes through (last year with her two cubs.) People look me in the eye and speak to me on the streets here. And I can afford a home and a lifestyle on modest means.=20 I "only" have adjunct status which lets me teach the classes I want to, and to sit on thesis committees which keeps my thinking and reading skills honed. But mot of my work is in the community. It is from this odd stance that I see some of both worlds. I know there are misfits and malcontents on both sides of this university community divide, (and I use misfits and malcontents as a positive trait attribution. After all, I think most positive progress has come from those dissatisfied with the status quo and eager for justice.)=20 I still think the challenge is how to speak across that divide. How do those of us (no matter where we stand) who want to make a difference, who do see value and equity in the community and its knowledge, and who want partnership that bestows power equally and shares outcomes fruitfully, find each other and talk to each other? Are we able to say, okay, if a community wants/needs capacity building we will listen when they say what that capacity should look like - and that sometimes that is going to be resources and not our "superior knowledge or research skills? Can deliver capacity building in ways that are respectful and empowering? And, in turn, can we accept that we too need capacity building and that the community has much to teach us if we listen deeply. I have had some brilliant profs, who have seen the world beyond their classroom and their disciplines, who bring context to the chalk board (or I guess PowerPoint now, hey? Letting my age show) ) .One of those professors, a strong feminist herself, challenged me, and literally stood my thinking on my head when she made me think about gender not just women. I felt that was such a betrayal of everything I stood for, and had fought for as a young single mom trying to support my children, get an education and change the world (never occurred to me I couldn't do all three) She said to me in one class, "look between, look at the differences and you learn more about each." And that short sharp illumination has been a huge help to me - so I urge this on us all: let's look at both in the same light, let's use the scrutiny to see the differences and similarities, let's learn about and support each other. All we have, in the last analysis - is each other.=20 We underestimate, I think the power of conversation to shift the world if we learn to listen....? =20 My dream: a conference - fully funded so that community folks could attend, with highly skilled facilitation, so we could continue this conversation face to face, where we could take social determinants as the equalizing ground. It would be nothing short of revolutionary - But where do we to fund the revolution?

I'm finding it hard to follow how we got here. I am not sure why Chrystal Ocean is being pressed in this manner for an answer to this question. I am reacting to this quite negatively and thinking that this exchange may be illustrating in some way the entitlement experienced by those who are aligned with the interests of universities or socially empowered by them in relation to those who are located in and aligned with the interests of those in communities and community orgs.=20 I don't think the burden of bringing communities and academics together falls to communities does it? And I don't mean to imply that I want to see this happen because I don't, with the exception of a very few academics whose positioning is such (tho' it may not always be as the autonomy of some of those in the academy is being eroded currently) that they still have some freedom to support the interests of communities independent of their own).=20 Moving off this question at quite a few degrees I think that community-university alliances basically give those in universities access (entree) to communities and community organizations which on their own professional researchers don't necessarily deserve and haven't earned. The flow of funding is right now helping researchers to get around the historical problem of entree/access to communities. This is quite problematic I think. I also think it raises serious ethical questions although perhaps others don't see that. Compliance with ethical procedures for research is part of the mystique of research these days, yet there are larger ethical questions such as these which are being completely obscured and rendered unspeakable.
