With Christian, they give advice for new faculty on incorporating service-learning at a new institution with a new community context, explain the difference between service-learning and critical service-learning, and discuss possibilities for keeping digital service-learning critical, knowledge production, multimodality in class projects, living within the systems we're critiquing, and incorporating empathy into every part of our academic lives. Additionally, we get to hear about the book they are working on, which touches on doing service-learning that focuses on power, navigating institutional boundaries of learning, the untapped potential of service-learning, and turning ideals of service-learning into praxis. It's a busy part of the semester, but this is an excellent episode to tune into this week!
