Abstract

The US trajectory toward income equality and equal education opportunity reached a new high in the 1970s and started to decline soon afterward. To illustrate the drastic consequence, I contrast community-based interventions in California Central Valley in the 1970s with university-based projects promoting education equity in Detroit in the 2010s. A community-wellbeing framework is presented and used to compare community organizing in the US during the two time periods. The co-cases examine college-school partnerships in the US and Ireland, a basis for contrasting the roles of social support and college affordability to improve access for low-income students. Cases examine community-based interventions and school-university partnerships. Both the US and Ireland have community support networks, but with better college affordability, low-income students face fewer barriers in Ireland than in most of the US states.
