Call for Submissions
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.
