Call for Proposals: Theorizing the Impacts of Covid-19 and Racial Injustice on Global Service Learning

The Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning (MJCSL), in partnership with the Community-based Global Learning Collaborative are still accepting 150 word proposals for a special section on Global Service Learning due by October 18th.

The section will be guest edited by Dr. Katie MacDonald and Dr. Jessica Vorstermans and will be included in the Summer 2022 issue of MJCSL. It will also feature an epilogue by Dr. Eric Hartman and Dr. Richard Kiely.

From the guest editors: 

2020/2021 has presented ruptures that have unveiled ongoing and intersecting social pandemics such as anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism, white supremacy, patriarchy, classism, and ableism in the context of a global health pandemic (Brand, 2020). We (the guest editors) propose three ruptures as moments for imagining – and doing – otherwise: (i) the Black Lives Matter movement and increased mainstream attention to racial inequity, (ii) COVID-19 and new imaginings of travel, mobility, and safety (iii) mutual aid as increasingly necessary in a pandemic and as a possible relational way forward. This special issue takes these ruptures as a starting point for re-imagining learning and movement as relational.”
