Friends, Readers, Colleagues: Lend us your experience.

We started this site to advance the field of global service-learning through critical dialogue, robust questioning, and evidence-based insights. We hope you will consider joining a growing community of guest bloggers in 2014. In the coming months, we’ll have guest posts from dozens of established and emerging researchers and practitioners. Contributor guidelines are available here.

In 2013,  our Top 5 most viewed blog posts were:

1. Culture. Shock. Service. Study Abroad. Global Citizenship? New Master’s Thesis with Provocative Data, by Julia Lang
2. Study Abroad Safety Resources for LGBTQ Travelers
3. Fair Trade Learning
4. Giving Back? Short-Term International Volunteer Programs in Global Health, by Judith Lasker
5. The Ethics of International Development: A Video on Voluntourism

Our most visited pages this past year, beyond our home page, were our research wiki, blog, and tools wiki, which are all searchable using the box on the right.

We are looking forward to advancing careful and conscientious global university-community engagement, international volunteerism, and global partnership in 2014. As a critical questioner, skilled practitioner, or evidence-based researcher, please consider becoming part of the conversation. Happy New Year, and thanks for reading.
