Spring 2007

In this issue of Intersections, we examine a variety of bridge-building efforts and ground-breaking frameworks for collaboration between practice and research. This work is central to much of what RCLA does. It reflects our belief that knowledge resides in the community of practice and that academic-practitioner collaboration is a powerful - yet challenging - strategy for expanding our understanding of how leadership operates in nonprofit and government settings.

Fall 2006

Think of the arts, and you may think first of museums or music, culture and entertainment. Increasingly, there is interest in how the arts can make a difference in the world - how it can change not only our attitudes, but transform our communities. In this issue, we focus on the wide variety of ways the arts can influence and strengthen public and nonprofit leadership.

Summer 2006

This second issue of Intersections highlights innovations in fostering collaboration both within government and between public and nonprofit agencies. Refining our understanding of what makes for such effective partnerships is vital for enabling the large-scale social change sought by practitioners in both arenas.

Winter 2006

This first issue of Intersections highlights lessons RCLA has culled from our work within the nonprofit sector, and particularly through our partnership with the Ford Foundation's Leadership for a Changing World program. These lessons, we believe, are applicable in many contexts, including the public sector.
