Service-Learning at CCNY
Publishing Resources for Faculty

Faculty using engaged teaching and scholarship strategies, such as service-learning and community-based research, have many outlets for publishing and presenting information about their efforts. There are peer-reviewed journals and national conferences that focus on service-learning; additionally, many disciplinary associations, journals, and meetings accept proposals focused on service-learning within a given discipline. Experienced faculty have created online resources with tips and ideas for faculty considering publishing or presenting. Below is a summary of these resources.

1. Issues in Engaged Scholarship: An Exploration of Service-Learning, Community-Based Research, and Community-Campus Collaborations.

This working paper series from the Colin Powell Center features rigorous research and critical analysis involving the theory, implementation, and outcomes of engaged scholarship.
