William Heard Kilpatrick argued that student learning is most valued and enduring when grounded within "wholehearted, purposeful activity in a social environment." We may couple that pedagogical principle with what is surely the ethical imperative implicit in the sociological effort: that human beings should in their thoughts and conduct be disposed to the welfare of others. Service-learning provides students with a chance to catch hold of the intellectual and ethical importance of the sociological imagination. Whether the "service" in service-learning entails participatory action research, activism and advocacy, or direct interaction with a nonprofit organization's clients, the resulting partnerships can also transform social relationships, present alternatives to structural inequalities, and mobilize both campus and community resources. We invite you to join your colleagues for a lively discussion about service-learning in sociology. Individuals or teams from colleges and universities, secondary schools, and community-based organizations are all welcome to participate in this event, regardless of your level of experience with service-learning. All participants in this workshop will receive a free copy of the newly published monograph from AAHE: Cultivating the Sociological Imagination: Concepts and Models for Service- Learning in Sociology, a $28.50 value. Workshop structure includes interactive presentations, panels, and small-group discussions.
