It gives us great pleasure on this last day of February 2014, to bring you the Spring 2014 Volume 6 Issue 1 of the All Ireland Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (AISHE–J), published by the All Ireland Society for Higher Education (AISHE). In keeping with recent practice, the Spring issue is a thematic issue, exploring one area of discourse from a variety of perspectives. In this instance, our topic is that of civic and community engagement and its role in higher education. This special edition is timely in the contemporary context of higher education in Ireland as civic and community engagement evolves and gains momentum nationally. Civic and community engagement is well established within higher education internationally and resonates with the founding missions of many institutions, but within the context of Ireland a recent national survey has indicated that while there is evolved practice, it tends to be a labour of love and typically falls under the radar (Lyons and McIlrath, 2011).
