Alongside Community is a step-by-step guide that prepares social
science students to be democratic citizens by examining the theory,
method, and sociopolitical dynamics that impact helping those
different from oneself. The first part of this book explores the
more theoretical issues of helping others, including issues of
social identity, values, and power. The second part of this
guidebook examines action-based methods; interventions available
for community-based engagement; and the sociopolitical issues that
inevitably arise for those who strive to create social change
including issues of race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual
orientation, mental health, educational and environmental justice
along with suggestions on how to address these issues. The third
part of Alongside Community critically explores how to measure the
impact of community service on major stakeholders including
student, faculty, college and community agency and ends with
reflections and suggestions on how to be a lifelong civically
engaged citizen.
