{"product_id":"working-en-comunidad-elena-foulis-9780816553525","title":"Working En Comunidad: Service-Learning and Community Engagement with U.S. Latinas\/Os\/Es","description":"Working in community is critical to several fields. Working en comunidad focuses on service-learning and Latina\/o\/e communities within a variety of institutional contexts. It provides a practical framework grounded in theoretical approaches that center Latina\/o\/e experiences as foundational to understanding how to prepare students to work in the community and en comunidad. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The volume tackles three major themes: ethical approaches to working with Latina\/o\/e communities within language courses and beyond; preparing Latina\/o\/e students for working with their own communities in different environments; and ensuring equitable practices and building relationships that are mutually beneficial for students and community members. The editors forward two central arguments: (1) Equitable community engagement in higher education is a reflective and reciprocal process that develops empathy and personal and professional growth in students; and (2) service-learning is most transformative when it explicitly guides students and the community to build cultural humility and recognize Latina\/o\/e experiences and agency as foundational to the learning process. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Many of the contributors and editors are Latina\/o\/e-identified scholars, practitioners, and researchers, who lend a rich body of experience and a personal dedication to this work. They present distinct approaches and geographies, as well as range of institutions, to offer a wide scope of engaged work that builds on the concept of \u003ci\u003ecomunidad\u003c\/i\u003e to advance a critical new conceptual framework of equitable education and racial justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Stacey Alex \u003cbr\u003e Elena Foulis \u003cbr\u003e Christina Garc?a \u003cbr\u003e Catherine Komisaruk \u003cbr\u003e Kelly Lowther Pereira \u003cbr\u003e Glenn Mart?nez \u003cbr\u003e Mar?a Luisa Parra-Velasco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elena Foulis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816553521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816553525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Elena Foulis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898381983999,"sku":"9780816553525","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_393e4cd2-9fab-4b16-a0a3-0c662535f8a4.jpg?v=1721376186","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/working-en-comunidad-elena-foulis-9780816553525","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
