Call for Emerging Scholars - K-12 Service-Learning Research

There are just a few spots left in the national K-12 Service-Learning Research Works in Progress program. This program is for emerging scholars conducting research on K-12 service-learning issues who are interested in receiving feedback on their work from senior scholars. Participation expenses (airfare, hotel, etc.) are covered by the program.

NEW APPLICATION DEADLINE: Monday, May 11, 2009

We are currently seeking applications from emerging scholars investigating issues in K-12 service-learning who wish to participate in the 2009 Emerging Scholars in Service-Learning Works in Progress Seminar, to be held June 14-16, 2009 at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Established in 2007, the Works in Progress Seminar is a program that provides support and encouragement for a new generation of diverse service-learning researchers. The Seminar teams emerging scholars with experienced researchers and practitioners to develop and advance the development of new scholarly work in field of K-12 service-learning. The Works in Progress seminar is a national program co-facilitated by the University of Minnesota, Brandeis University, and Tufts University and is funded by a W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant to the National Service-Learning Partnership.
