Service-Learning & Civic Engagement
Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning
Volume 15 Call for Abstracts Announced
This is a call for abstracts for volume 15 (fall 08/ spring 09) of the Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning.
The MJCSL is the premiere international journal devoted to service-learning research, theory, pedagogy, and other matters relevant to curriculum-based (academic) service-learning in higher education. It is published at the University of Michigan Ginsberg Center.
To keep up with the expanding civic engagement field, beginning with volume 15 the MJCSL will expand its purview. In addition to research, theory, pedagogy, and other relevant issues to curriculum-based (academic) service-learning, the MJCSL now also will review articles focused on:
- University-community partnerships
- Engaged/public scholarship (faculty work which involves and benefits a community AND advances a faculty member's scholarship or creative work)
Please submit by December 20th an abstract or précis no longer than one-page that reflects the gist of your planned article submission. Abstract submissions that fit within the purview of the MJCSL and appear to satisfy MJCSL quality thresholds will be invited to submit a complete paper. The invitation will be sent via e-mail no later than January 15th. Complete articles will be due the last Monday in March (the 31st).
Additional submission guidelines may be found at the MJCSL webpage. Questions may be directed to me via e-mail.
Thank you.
