New this month from Sylus Publishing's Service Learning for Civic Engagement Series:

Race, Poverty, and Social Justice Multidisciplinary Perspectives through Service Learning

Edited by Jose Z. Calderon Foreword by Robert A. Corrigan

This volume explores multiple examples of how to connect classrooms to communities through service learning and participatory research to teach issues of social justice. The various chapters provide examples of how collaborations between students, faculty, and community partners are creating models of democratic spaces (on campus and off campus) where the students are teachers and the teachers are students. The purpose of this volume is to provide examples of how service learning can be integrated into courses addressing social justice issues. At the same time, it is about demonstrating the power of service learning in advancing a course content that is community-based and socially engaged.

Jose Z. Calderon is Professor of Sociology and Chicano Studies at Pitzer College.

Robert A. Corrigan is President, San Francisco State University.
