Randy Stoecker has been "practicing" forms of community-engaged
scholarship, including service learning, for thirty years now, and
he readily admits, "Practice does not make perfect." In his highly
personal critique, Liberating Service Learning and the Rest of
Higher Education Civic Engagement, the author worries about the
contradictions, unrealized potential, and unrecognized urgency of
the causes as well as the risks and rewards of this work. Here,
Stoecker questions the prioritization and theoretical/philosophical
underpinnings of the core concepts of service learning: 1.
learning, 2. service, 3. community, and 4. change. By "liberating"
service learning, he suggests reversing the prioritization of the
concepts, starting with change, then community, then service, and
then learning. In doing so, he clarifies the benefits and purpose
of this work, arguing that it will create greater pedagogical and
community impact. Liberating Service Learning and the Rest of
Higher Education Civic Engagement challenges-and hopefully will
change-our thinking about higher education community engagement.
