ANN ARBOR— The University of Michigan’s fall 1999
Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning (MJCSL) is
now available.

Published annually through the U-M Center for
Community Service and Learning, the journal focuses on
research, theory and pedagogy. It also includes several
book reviews.

One of the key essays examines how service learning
research is conducted at the University of Montana and
encourages assessing service learning from the community
agency perspective as well as its student impact.
“Campus and Community Partnerships: Assessing Impacts
improving these partnerships to benefit both sectors.
Featured in “Pedagogy” is the description of an
undergraduate class offered at American University titled
“Teaching Grassroots Democracy through Service-Learning:
Lessons from the Collaborative Teaching/Lawyering Method of
Clinical Legal Education.”

The project is an example of how this particular style
of teaching fosters progressive conceptions of citizenship
and facilitates critical examination of the political
system.
