Gateways is a refereed journal concerned with the practice and processes of community research and other forms of engagement. It provides a forum for academics, practitioners and community representatives to pursue issues and reflect on practices related to interactions between tertiary institutions and community organizations: academic interventions in community; community-based projects with links to the tertiary sector; and community initiatives.

Welcome to the second volume of Gateways, which is a special issue edited by Martin Hall, Judy Favish, Janice McMillan and Sonwabo Ngcelwane. The volume looks at the various ways social responsiveness is being addressed at the University of Cape Town.
