THE NOTEBOOK V1
The Notebook was created to hold a divergent space in a traditional world, existing somewhere between an academic journal and a popular magazine.
The Notebook: Community Vitality
Volume 1, 2024
This collection of art, scholarship, opinion, and insight are presented to you as variations on a theme—community vitality. Community vitality is the holistic state of well-being, including the economic strength, social cohesion, and public safety that impacts both individuals and the collective. This concept serves as the bedrock for fostering a just society in which the strength of communities directly correlates with their safety, health, and prosperity. In the simplest terms, strong communities are safe communities.
