Description:Service learning can help students develop a sense of civic responsibility and commitment, often while addressing pressing community needs and having positive, lasting effects on the communities engaged. One important goal of literary studies is to understand the ethical dimensions of the world, and thus service learning, by broadening and complicating the environments students consider, is well suited to the literature classroom. Whether through a public literacy project that demonstrates the relevance of literary study or community-based research that brings literary theory to life, student collaboration with community partners brings social awareness to the study of literary texts and helps students and teachers engage literature in new ways.In their introduction to Service Learning and Literary Studies in English, the volume editors trace the history of service learning in the United States, including the debate about literature's role, and outline the best practices of the pedagogy. The essays that follow cover American literature, English and world literature, creative nonfiction and memoir, literature-based writing, and cross-disciplinary studies. Contributors describe a wide variety of service-learning projects, including a course on the Harlem Renaissance in which students lead a community writing workshop, an English capstone seminar in which seniors design programs for public libraries, and a creative nonfiction course in which first-year students work with elderly community members to craft life narratives.
