The Cambridge Handbook of Service Learning and Community Engagement

About this book

"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"--
