CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
We are soliciting materials for an edited volume on Service-Learning and
Communication Studies at the post-secondary level to be edited by David
Droge (University of Puget Sound) and Bren Ortega Murphy (Loyola University
Chicago). The volume is part of a series sponsored by the American
Association for Higher Education, Campus Compact, and the Invisible
College, a national group of faculty engaged in and
interested in supporting service-learning in colleges and universities. The
general editor for the series is Edward Zlotkowski, Director of the Bentley
College Service-Learning Project. AAHE will publish the monograph series.
The general purpose of the volume is to provide theoretical and pedagogical
material on the links between communication studies and service-learning.
Selection of material will be guided by the following definition, which we
have condensed from the National Community Service and Trust Act of 1993 :
"Service-learning means a method under which students learn and develop
through thoughtfully-organized service that: is conducted in and meets the
needs of a community and is coordinated with an institution of higher
education, and with the community; helps foster civic responsibility; is
integrated into and enhances the academic curriculum of the students
enrolled; and includes structured time for students to reflect on the
service experience."
The following kinds of materials are welcome:
1. Essays dealing with historical links between communication and
community building, with theoretical issues in communication
studies that are brought into relief when examined through the lens of
service-learning (and vice versa), and with pedagogical issues that relate
communication studies and service-learning. (Essays might address, for
example, the kinds of service projects that are appropriate to the learning
goals for one or more communication studies course; theoretical issues
such as the link between "communication" and "community" and how
service-learning relates to that link; methodologicalunderpinnings of
the relationship between communication studies and service-learning;
available research on the relationships; etc.)
2. Course/program materials for communication studies that incorporate
service-learning and help others learn "how to do it." ((Essays might
focus on a design an introductory course in one area in communication studies
or more a advanced course and how such a course includes service-learning,
providing a syllabus, a sample of assignments, assessment tools, etc.;
designs for a "program" in communication studies
(major/minor/concentration) and how service-learning might be incorporated,
what the obstacles are to such incorporation, etc.))
3. Items for an annotated bibliography of both communication studies and
service-learning resources (books, journals, pedagogical tools, etc., that
provide helpful materials for neophytes as well as more advanced
practitioners).
4. Key organizations, associations, and networks (including addresses,
phone numbers, e-mail addresses) that interested parties might turn to for
more information.
Deadline for submissions:
Contributors are asked to submit a 2 - 4 page prospectus by July 1, 1996.
Notification of acceptance will be provided by August 1 and final essays, on
3.5 diskette in a standard word processing format, are due November 1.

Association (APA) stle format.
