Request for syllabi from Geography

Dear colleagues,   

I have been working with a couple faculty in our Geography Department at 
the U of MN 
Twin Cities to integrate service-learning into one course that rotates in 
the department 
each year, an Intro to Urban Georgraphy course.  We are hoping to bring 
more of the 
departmental faculty on board with service-learning to provide our 
community partners 
with more consistency and to strengthen the connections to the community 
across 
the undergraduate curriculum.  
1)  Does anyone know of people in your institutions who 
teach in geography using service-learning? 
2) Does anyone have syllabi for geography courses which integrate 
community work?  
3) I saw an article in AAHE's Peace Studies monograph on Cultural 
Geography, do you know of other publications to look at in the 
field. 

Once again,  I have looked at Campus Compact's website; the 
www.csf.colorado.edu/sl website 
syllabi collection and the Second Nature website collection.

I will compile and share any responses I receive with the entire list 
in a couple weeks.  

Sincerely,
