IAnews #9, the Fall 2007 issue of the newsletter of Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life, sports an informative column called "Imagining New England," downloadable on the IA Web site. It offers thumbnail sketches of university-community arts partnerships of the consortium's members in that region, where "arts and culture are increasingly looked to as resources for re-imagining local economies." For example, there's a nice profile of IA member Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, and its Harvard Center for Continuing Partnerships, headed up by IA Board Chair David Scobey, who analyzes local history and needs and talks about the center's involvement with its shifting populations. Such programs at other IA member schools are profiled: Boston College, Brown U., Clark U., Dartmouth, Eastern Connecticut State, Emerson, Hampshire, RISD and Wesleyan.
