Introduction
IARSLCE Co-Editors, Susan Harris and Morgan Lewing, introduce Volume 12 of the International Journal of Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement
IJRSLCE Senior Co-Editor Alan H. Bloomgarden and Special Focus Guest Editor Patrick M. Green reflect on the particular positionalities of and rewards for the practitioner-scholar in community engagement.
Introducing Volume 10 of the Journal, Co-Editors Alan Bloomgarden and Jessica Mann set the research presented in the context of dialogue with current conversations underway on issues facing the field.
Articles in this issue draw attention to research that emphasizes reciprocity in partnerships between higher education institutions and their wider communities.
Taken together, the articles in this volume demonstrate systematic inquiry and critical reflection that could inform and improve community engagement practice in K–12 and higher education.
As students, institutions, communities, pedagogy, and learning environments continue to develop, so too must the practices and understanding of the critical elements of SLCE.
The 2017 volume of IJRSLCE comprises an array of submissions offering insight into previously under-examined issues, outcomes, impacts, and/or approaches that help to inform current and future research and practice.
Welcome to the fourth volume of the International Journal of Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement (IJRSLCE), a publication of the International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement.
Emerging scholars in the field of community engagement in higher education will develop the future trajectory of our shared work based on innovative theoretical frameworks and subsequent research findings.
The International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement (IARSLCE), sponsor of this journal, is continuing to grow and build its identity through publication.
