The new edition of our online, peer-reviewed journal Partnerships: A Journal of Service-Learning and Civic Engagement is now available. Access to the full-text articles is free, but viewers must register. The current issue (Vol. 5, No. 2, 2014) has articles on international service-learning, a community-based research project at an urban elementary school, and service-learning in a rural setting. The journal is hosted online by our friends at UNC-Greensboro Libraries and edited by UNCG Professor Dr. Spoma Jovanovic.
In her introduction to the fall 2014 issue, Jovanovic urges us to:
“Read carefully about these service-learning experiences and you’ll be introduced or reacquainted with garbology, constructive reciprocity, humus, the adaptive cycle, and the Big Blue Bus. The articles recount the activities of 5th grade researchers, community partners, 1960s and 21st century student learners, global partnerships, and talented professors. Between the lines, you’ll find best practice tips, theoretical inspiration, and social justice possibilities for community engagement.”
Partnerships recognizes that successful engaged learning depends on effective partnerships between students, faculty, community agencies, administrators, disciplines, and more. The journal’s general call for submissions invites authors to submit:
- Research Articles reflecting diverse methodologies and theoretical perspectives.
- Essays that contribute new knowledge, address currentissues, highlight unique perspectives, or offer critical reflection, anchored in a literature base.
- Empirical Studies of partnership evaluations or assessments.
- Book Reviews of new volumes in the field and of interest to our readers.
