Start Date

Description
Service learning enables student learning in many ways, but one of the most powerful involves what scholars call “perspective transformation”—the shift in viewpoint that accompanies work with different populations. This panel, consisting of four service-learning practitioners, will talk about designing classes with this identity shift in mind. Drawing on examples from past service-learning classes, the panel will also consider the educational advantages of seeing the world through different eyes.
