The Cambridge Handbook of Service Learning and Community Engagement. Cambridge Handbooks in Psychology

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. Highlights include: (1) Offers a broad and critical historical context for service learning and community engagement; (2) Focuses on policies and professional support that document and evaluate institutional change, and the potential for future changes within higher education and engagement; and (3) Readers will be able to consider some of the most sophisticated and fundamental criticisms of service learning and community engagement while considering how such challenges might improve or re-shape their practices.
