Abstract
This chapter offers a cultural historical perspective on a multi-site dispersed community of collaboratively engaged university and community partners called University-Community Links (UC Links). The chapter begins by defining the concept of university-community engagement and moves to an ethnographic description of university-community engagement as a sociotechnical activity system. Viewing UC Links in this conceptual framework enables us to examine the educational activity between K-12 and university students and how localized activity is implemented and developed through collaborative activity among adults working together across the multiple boundaries of local institutions. The chapter explores how those localized efforts are both extended and limited, influenced, and enhanced by collaborative activity at much broader organizational and macrosocial planes of activity. This multi-layered analysis begins with the early experience of a young participant at La Clase Mágica, one of the two original Solana Beach, California sites out of which the broader UC Links initiative emerged.
