Announcing

Volume 22, Number 1 (Fall 2015)

Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning

Since 1994, The Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning (MJCSL) has been the premier national, peer-reviewed journal publishing articles written by faculty and service-learning educators on research, theory, pedagogy, and other issues related to academic (curriculum-based) service- learning and community-engaged scholarship in higher education. The Michigan Journal, published by the University of Michigan’s Edward Ginsberg Center for Community Service and Learning, contributes to advancing our work.

I am VERY PLEASED to announce that the Fall Issue (Volume 22 Number 1), which is about to be released, contains TWO SPECIAL SECTIONS: one on GLOBAL SERVICE-LEARNING and one on the SERVICE-LEARNING/COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FUTURE DIRECTIONS PROJECT. See the Table of Contents below for more about these two Special Sections.

The yearly subscription rate for Volume 22, which includes both the Fall and Spring issues (released respectively in November 2015 and April 2016), is $30 (individual) and $40 (institutional). Shipping is included in the price except for Canada ($5) and International addresses ($20).
