The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Service Learning in South Africa, edited by R Osman and N Petersen

Service learning is a form of experiential learning in which students receive academic credit for addressing human and community needs in a way that benefits both provider and recipient of the service. Service learning can be seen as a philosophy, a model, or a pedagogical tool. This book is designed to include both theoretical perspective and a practical component. It adopts a social justice framework and the theoretical component addresses why students do service learning, includes reflection, and discusses issues of power, such as the positioning between students and site managers.
