2015 Conference News

Make a new year's resolution you'll want to keep!  Save the dates and plan now to attend the 2015 IARSLCE Conference in Boston, Massachusetts, November 15 - 17. The conference will be held at the Boston Marriott Copley Place. Stay tuned for the call for proposals and more details as they emerge.
 

Get Involved...IARSLCE Publications Committee 

IARSLCE is committed to member involvement. As such, we would like to highlight one way that members can join in on the association's activities. Lina Dostilio and Andy Furco, chairs of 
IARSLCE's Publications and Scholarship Committee, invite you to shape the field's research agenda by joining IARSLCE's Publications and Scholarship Committee.

As an international research association, IARSLCE is committed to producing and disseminating high value publications that can inform and advance the field.  Since its establishment, IARSLCE has produced an annual peer-reviewed publication as part of the Advances in Service-Learning Research Series.  In addition, IARSLCE has published a series of conferences proceedings that highlight the sessions presented at the annual conference.

 
In 2012, in response to feedback from association members, who asked for a more robust and expansive journal, IARSLCE transitioned its annual, online, peer-reviewed publication to the International Journal for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement (IJRSLCE).

 
Today, we are working on the third volume of this journal, which is reaching a wider international audience and disseminating some of the field's most cutting research analyses.  In addition, we are working on securing the journal's inclusion in the international scientific journal ranking systems. The journal is available for free to all IARSLCE members and is available for purchase for individuals and groups not affiliated with the association.  As an IARSLCE member, you can access the first two volumes of the journal can be found here.

We invite you to shape the future of this journal and the broader scholarship agenda of IARSLCE by joining the association's Publications and Scholarship Committee.

 
This committee is composed of IARSLCE members and is co-chaired by two IARSLCE board members.  In 2015, the Committee will address several important issues to advance our field's research and scholarship, including the following:
1) Securing a broader international scope and reach and of the Association's publications;
2) Developing strategies to track the impact of the Association's journal on its members and the broader field;
3) Devising paths for the greater involvement of participation of IARSLCE members in ensuring  to the Association's publications as authors and peer-reviewers; and
4) Identifying new pathways for advancing the dissemination of high quality service-learning and community engagement research and scholarship
The committee meets quarterly using an online meeting platform (GoToMeeting), and holds an in-person meeting at the annual conference for those committee members who are present.

 
If you are interested in joining this committee or have any questions about its work, please contact us.   Our first meeting of 2015 will be held in mid-January.  We look forward to hearing from you.
