Service-Learning and Community Engagement with U.S. Latinas/Os/Es

Herausgeber: Foulis, Elena; Martínez, Glenn A; Alex, Stacey

Beschreibung

This edited volume showcases examples of service-learning practices and pedagogies for working alongside Latina/o/e communities. The contributors tackle three major themes: ethical approaches to working with Latina/o/e communities within language courses and beyond; preparing Latina/o/e students for working with their own communities in different environments; and ensuring equitable practices and building relationships that are mutually beneficial for students and community. Written by scholars, practitioners, and researchers, the collection's six chapters offer case studies of how to carry out service-learning work that is culturally informed and provides a guide to help others do the same.
