The Cambridge Handbook of Service Learning and Community Engagement cover

A comprehensive look at service learning and community engagement including history, best practices, disciplinary approaches, institutional policies, and critical perspectives.

This book is for administrators, staff, faculty, and students who are interested in service learning, community engagement, and ways in which engaged teaching and scholarship can effect social change. Community organizations and non-profits will also benefit from thinking about ways they can partner with educational institutions to create local change.With contributions from leading experts across disciplinary fields, this book explores best practices from the field's most notable researchers, as well as important historically based and politically focused challenges to a field whose impact has reached an important crossroads. The comprehensive and powerfully critical analysis considers the history of community engagement and service learning, best teaching practices and pedagogies, engagement across disciplines, and current research and policies - and contemplates the future of the field. The book will not only inform faculty, staff, and students on ways to improve their work, but also suggest a bigger social and political focus for programs intended to seriously establish democracy and social justice in their communities and campuses.
