Abstract

The need to demonstrate the criticality of service-learning and community engagement (SLCE) as well as to embrace additional ways of knowing has become evident. Scholars have called for greater emphasis on “critical approaches” by SLCE practitioners that tackle serious societal issues (e.g., Latta et al., 2018; Warren-Gordon, 2021; Whitford, 2021) and that even move beyond basic criticality to a “decolonizing” purpose (Santiago-Ortiz, 2019). This special session explores critical approaches and new spaces to expand the contributions of SLCE scholar–practitioners while also diversifying the landscape of contributors. This session considers the connections needed to create spaces for the diversification of SLCE scholarship. Participants will hear from individuals involved in expanding these spaces and reflections on the various ways in which scholarship may be pursued and disseminated.
