The latest issue of the Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning (MJCSL) (Summer 2022 , Volume 28 , Issue 2) is now live!

In addition to work by Estela Ene and Honnor Orlando on the under-examined capacity of autonomous learning in international service-learning contexts, Katie MacDonald and Jessica Vorstermans co-edited a special section titled “Inequitable Ruptures, Rupturing Inequity: Theorizing COVID-19 and racial injustice impacts on International Service Learning pedagogy, frameworks and policies.” MacDonald’s and Vorstermans’ special section highlights the impacts that the “ruptures” of the last two years–the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased awareness of structural racism being chief among them–have had on global service-learning. The special section features work on reciprocal partnerships in GSL by Kaitlin Long, Mac Benavides, Trisha Gott, and Chibuzor Azubuike, and a study of the role that physical and psychological proximity play in affecting students’ perceptions of the impact that their service-learning has by Lynne-Marie Shea, Lauren I. Grenier, and Debra Harkins.
