Happy Wednesday! This week, we get to hear from Tom Dahan from Rutgers University - Camden about his research on the community effects of service-learning, how his position as a Campus Compact VISTA helped him broaden his definition of civic engagement, and what service-learning and community engagement looks like at Rutgers-Camden. This episode is 20 minutes filled to the brim with insight on the fields of service-learning and experiential education!

Today on the podcast, we have one of the recipients of this year's Excellence in Service-Learning Faculty Award from Virginia Commonwealth University, Dr. David Coogan! With Dr. Winterbottom, he discusses the inception and process of Writing Our Way Out, a collective of formally incarcerated writers that he leads through memoir-writing. They also dive into doing service-learning without direct institutional support and his most recent effort to divert community members with low-level offenses from the courts to the classroom.

To wrap up September, we welcome Dr. Ashley Patterson from Penn State and Dr. Emily Nemeth from Denison! With Christian, they give advice for new faculty on incorporating service-learning at a new institution with a new community context, explain the difference between service-learning and critical service-learning, and discuss possibilities for keeping digital service-learning critical, knowledge production, multimodality in class projects, living within the systems we're critiquing, and incorporating empathy into every part of our academic lives. Additionally, we get to hear about the book they are working on, which touches on doing service-learning that focuses on power, navigating institutional boundaries of learning, the untapped potential of service-learning, and turning ideals of service-learning into praxis. It's a busy part of the semester, but this is an excellent episode to tune into this week!
In today's episode, we welcome Dr. Ithel Jones, professor in the School of Teacher Education at Florida State University! Fun fact: Dr. Jones was part of the reason Dr. Christian Winterbottom was brought to service-learning.
