recreational activities, and situates working-class leisure within
the determining economic and social context. In particular, the
inventiveness of working people 'at play' is highlighted. Drawing
on an extensive range of source material, the book has a wide
general appeal, and will be useful to those professionally
concerned with leisure, as well as teachers and students of social
history, and all those interested in the patterns of working-class
life in the past.
First published in 1987. Using a wealth of primary sources, Stephen
Jones investigates the role played in cinema affairs by the Labour
Movement, stressing the important contributions made by the Labour
Party, Communist Party and trade unions in the production and
presentation of film. He gives us a rare and important insight into
the British film industry, examining the cinema in its wider
economic, political and cultural context. He explores the
ideological influence of film, the nature of film work, state
intervention and Sunday entertainment, as reflected in the policies
and attitudes of organized labour. Also discussed are the growth
and impact of independent working class film organization.

International Service Learning (ISL) borrows from the domains of
service learning, study abroad, and international education to
create a new pedagogy that adds new and unique value from this
combination. It is a high-impact pedagogy with the potential to
improve students academic attainment, contribute to their personal
growth, and develop global civic outcomes. The international
service experience provides opportunities for additional learning
goals, activities, and relationships that are not available in a
domestic service learning course or in a traditional study abroad
course. The service experience develops reflection while shedding
light on and providing an added dimension to the curricular
component of the study abroad course. The international education
component further broadens students perspectives by providing
opportunities to compare and contrast North American and
international perspectives on course content.This book focuses on
conducting research on ISL, which includes developing and
evaluating hypotheses about ISL outcomes and measuring its impact
on students, faculty, and communities. The book argues that
rigorous research is essential to improving the quality of ISL s
implementation and delivery, and providing the evidence that will
lead to wider support and adoption by the academy, funders, and
partners. It is intended for both practitioners and scholars,
providing guidance and commentary on good practice. The volume
provides a pioneering analysis of and understanding of why and
under what conditions ISL is an effective pedagogy.Individual
chapters discuss conceptual frameworks, research design issues, and
measurement strategies related to student learning outcomes; the
importance of ISL course and program design; the need for faculty
development activities to familiarize faculty with the component
pedagogical strategies; the need for resources and collaboration
across campus units to develop institutional capacity for ISL; and
the role that community constituencies should assume as co-creators
of the curriculum, co-educators in the delivery of the curriculum,
and co-investigators in the evaluation of and study of ISL. The
contributors demonstrate sensitivity to ethical implications of
ISL, to issues of power and privilege, to the integrity of
partnerships, to reflection, reciprocity, and community benefits"
