Description

This substantially expanded new edition of Learning Through Serving provides a comprehensive guide to service-learning and civic engagement across academic disciplines and cultural communities. Designed for students and faculty, it helps individuals understand and reflect on their community service experiences as both individuals and citizens.

Each chapter has been developed to be read and reviewed in sequence over the term of a service-learning course, with chapters averaging 8-14 pages to avoid interfering with other course content reading. This edition includes four new chapters on Mentoring, Leadership, Becoming a Change Agent, and Short-Term Immersive and Global Service-Learning experiences.

With its revised chapters addressing social justice, privilege/power, diversity, intercultural communication, and technology, as well as added disciplinary examples and academic content, this edition offers a deeper understanding of service-learning issues. It also covers topics related to students with disabilities and international students.
