Situating Global Service-Learning: Drawing on Diverse Fields for Informed Practice

October 31, 2012
Global service-learning ultimately draws upon several discrete areas of literature and practice: community development, reflective practice, learning and assessment, health and safety, global civic engagement, and power and privilege. A regular theme of this site is that global service-learning practice requires great care and preparation to do well – and part of that process necessarily includes engaging with areas of research that are unfamiliar. As we complete the final version of chapter 1 in the book, we are further developing and working on this chart. But we are also now sharing it in draft form here, complete with hyperlinks to the cited material (frequently free online), so that it can be put to use and so that others may offer any additional classics they feel are part of the global service-learning canon, so to speak. We look forward to your feedback!
