However, liberal arts faculties are increasingly under pressure to integrate community engagement practices and respond to labour market demands for greater student \"\"employability.\"\" That demand creates challenges and possibilities as WGS programs and instructors adapt to changing post-secondary agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book examines how WGS programs can continue to prioritize the foundational critiques of inequality, power, privilege, and identity in the face of a post-secondary push toward praxis as resumé building, skills acquisition, and the bridging of town-and-gown differences. It pushes students to reflect critically on their own experiences with feminist praxis through critical reflections offered by the contributors along with examples of practical approaches to community-based\/experiential learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.
