2002 SL Research Conf- Proposal Call

The  Second Annual International Conference on Service-Learning Research
will be held at Loew's Vanderbilt Plaza adjacent to the Vanderbilt
University Campus in Nashville Tennesses Oct 20- Oct 22 2002.

Researchers, policymakers and practitioners interested in the
latest advances in service-learning research are invited to
attend.

 In October of 2001, the long awaited First Annual International
 Conference on Service-Learning Research was held in Berkeley
 and brought 350 researchers, policymakers and others
 interested in service-learning research together to share and
 hear about new findings, research agendas and explore
 research interests. This year, we will convene the Second
 Annual International Conference in Nashville Tennessee to build
 on this work. International scholars and practitioners who are
 actively engaged in service-learning research are invited to
 present their most recent breakthroughs in research findings,
 methodological approaches and theoretical advances at all
 levels: K-12 education, teacher education and higher education.
 We are also particularly interested in presentations from
 researchers in related fields whose theoretical or
 methodological approaches have something to offer to the
 service-learning research field.

program are due by 5 PM MT  April 19, 2002.
