Files
Description
This book addresses assumptions and challenges inherent within community engagement as a catalyst for developing students’ sense of civic responsibility at a time of rampant social polarization. Promoting academic development and life skills through the high-impact practice of service-learning, the book explores a new ecological framework for reflecting on and improving practice. The book describes innovative models, offers advice on coalition building, and presents the narratives of community engaged professionals and faculty, offering a sense of the tensions and rewards inherent in the work. Guidance, examples, and benchmarks provided are particularly relevant to this time of crises and unrest.
