By \"liberating\" service learning, he suggests reversing the prioritization of the concepts, starting with change, then community, then service, and then learning. In doing so, he clarifies the benefits and purpose of this work, arguing that it will create greater pedagogical and community impact. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLiberating Service Learning and the Rest of Higher Education Civic Engagement\u003c\/i\u003e challenges-and hopefully will change-our thinking about higher education community engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randy Stoecker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439913528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439913529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Randy Stoecker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996241658111,"sku":"9781439913529","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07d0b6e5-20d2-4f57-994f-26811f70110f.jpg?v=1683340563","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/liberating-service-learning-randy-stoecker-9781439913529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
