Request for Proposals: Redefining Research, Access, & Inclusion in SLCE

Posted by International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement on May 9, 2023

IARSLCE encourages thoughtful intercultural dialogue about research and research-informed practice for the benefit of diverse stakeholders across an expansive SLCE community.  Questions that arise from an emphasis on inclusive engagement include:

1. How is service learning and community engagement implemented in different communities and parts of the world?

2. How does research inform best practices for preparing students, higher education professionals and community practitioners to engage in reciprocal and equitable relationships with communities? How do we know that these relationships are reciprocal and equitable?

3. How does SLCE impact student learning?

4. How does the SLCE field engage with place-based and/or identity-conscious equity related to socio-economic and health equity?

5. How does research/scholarship inform and support accessible and inclusive SLCE practice?

6. What are the SLCE innovations around access and inclusion that guide best practice for scholarship?

The Conference Committee invites proposals that present scholarship related to service-learning and community engagement in a wide range of contexts. Especially encouraged are proposals that consider these questions and connect in some way to the conference theme of Redefining Research, Access, & Inclusion in SLCE. We are excited to gather in New Orleans at Tulane University this October to learn about vital research and scholarship being developed around the world and its implications for the field.
