Carriage House room small group discussion, The Gathering, Golden, Colorado, 2017
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Includes discussion of what is needed in the current moment, including what has been gained and what may have been lost through institutionalization of this wor, both at campuses and with mediating organizations. In May 2017, Stanford University’s Haas Center for Public Service co-sponsored a four-day meeting of scholars and practitioners involved with service-learning and civic engagement in higher education. This meeting became known as "The Gathering: An intergenerational dialogue among service-learning pioneers and those who will build and sustain the field in the future." The Gathering was held twenty-two years after a December 1995 Wingspread conference that brought together a group of service-learning “pioneers” to reflect on the field’s early history and recommend measures for strengthening policy and practice. The 1995 Wingspread meeting resulted in the publication of the book, “Service-Learning: A Movement's Pioneers Reflect on its Origins, Practice and Future," (Stanton, Giles & Cruz, Jossey-Bass, 1999). As the field has experienced significant growth over the past two decades, the time was right to bring together some of the original “pioneers” from the 1995 Wingspread conference with a group of younger, “next generation” service-learning and civic engagement scholars. Together, they engaged in a cross-generational dialogue and exploration to reflect on the current state of the service-learning and civic engagement field, now fifty years after its emergence in higher education in the 1960s.
