Apologies to all in advance:
My computer was very sick over a 3-week period (Gadz, what a drag!).
I fear that
some folk may have responded to this "Call for Submissions" in that
period. So,
if any of you submitted something to me and you have not heard from
me, please
re-submit it and I will respond asap.
Many thanks and peace,
Kathleen

>We are soliciting materials for an edited volume on Service-Learning and
>Peace Studies at the post-secondary level to be edited by Kathleen Maas
>Weigert (University of Notre Dame) and Robin Crews (University of Colorado
>at Boulder). The volume is part of a series sponsored by 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.
>
>
>The general purpose of the volume is to provide theoretical and
>pedagogical material on the links between peace studies and
>service-learning. The following kinds of materials are welcome:
>
>
>1. Essays dealing with historical links between peace studies and
>community service (local to global), with theoretical issues in peace
>studies that are brought into relief when examined through the lens of
>service-learning (and vice versa), and with pedagogical issues that relate
>peace studies and service-learning. (Essays might address, for example,
>the kinds of service projects that are appropriate to the learning goals
>for a peace studies course; theoretical issues such as the link between
>"justice" and "peace" and how service-learning relates to that link;
>methodological underpinnings of the relationship between peace studies and
>service-learning; available research on the relationships; etc.)
>
>2. Course/program materials for peace studies that incorporate
>service-learning and help others learn "how to do it." ((Essays might
>focus on a design of the "Introduction to Peace Studies" course or a more
>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 peace 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 peace 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 April 1, 1996.
>Notification of acceptance will be provided by May 15 and final essays,
>on 3.5 diskette in a standard word processing format, are due August 1.
>
>Send inquires to:
>
>Kathleen Maas Weigert (Kathleen.M.Weigert.2@nd.edu) or
