During this webinar, presenters Dr. Eric Hartman and Dr. Richard Kiely will share their understanding of the distinctive characteristics of the field of global service-learning, clarify the theoretical roots of these distinctive characteristics, and share reflection regarding promising opportunities for current and future research. This webinar will draw on the presenters’ considerable research, facilitation, and field-building specific to global service-learning. Hartman and Kiely have led pre-conference sessions on global service-learning for IARSLCE annually since 2011, recently served as guest co-editors for the first and second (current) Michigan Journal of Community Service-Learning special sections on global service-learning, and co-founded the field-gathering website, http://globalsl.org. Independently, together, and with other co-authors, they have authored more than 20 articles and chapters on global service-learning, including pieces focusing both on community development and student learning. Ample space for dialogue and discussion on the field of global service-learning will be part of the webinar.
