Beginning in 2007 LCHC began a new form of university-community partnership activity that eschewed pre-programming activities for a process of mutual collaboration building. What we saw emerge was a reflexive way of collaborating on the design of activities that privileges and builds upon the already-established practices at the site, keeping clearly in mind the principle that the joint activity must be just as much “their” project as it is ours.”
