Call for Papers: Centering Social Justice in the Scholarship of Community Engagement

For their Winter 2021 issue, the Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning (MJCSL) is publishing a joint issue with the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID).  

In the past, there have been critiques on some aspects of service-learning, as some scholars see challenges in the implementation of it, in a way that also takes action of the larger systemic structures that inhibit social justice.  

This issue will focus on how to develop community engaged scholarship that puts social justice at the center. The journal is looking for papers that explore these challenges, discuss lesser understood portions of service-learning from a new perspective, explain research methods that accurately capture social justice efforts, or bring an interdisciplinary approach to solving this issue. The papers must include a self-reflective component. 

The deadline to submit a proposal for the special issue is January 15, 2020. Find out more about the submission guidelines here
