2010 IARSLCE Annual Conference Call For Proposals

Proposals will be accepted beginning Monday, January 15, 2010.

The 2010 International Association for Research on Service-learning and Community Engagement (IARSLCE) Annual Conference will take place from October 28-31, 2010 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The featured theme is International Perspectives: Crossing Boundaries through Research. Service-learning is valued as an active learning strategy across the globe; however, little is known about the ways that service-learning is similar or different in varied contexts. Understanding service-learning and community engagement from diverse cultural perspectives will add insight necessary for comparative research and to improve practice.

Proposals will be accepted beginning Monday, January 15, 2010. To be considered, all proposals must be received via electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) Monday, March 22, 2010.
