Brief Biography:
I am delighted to serve as a flexible, multi-dimensional resource to address service-learning across the curricula of both academic and student affairs and between campus and community. Primary offerings: keynote presentations for campus-wide and general audiences, and workshops for faculty and staff on the vision, values and best practices of service-learning pedagogy, community partnerships, diversity issues, and social justice. Background: over twenty-five years of continuous active involvement teaching service-learning courses and institutionalizing community-based and engaged pedagogies as former Director of Stanford's Haas Center for Public Service at Stanford University, Executive Director of the Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (leading 18 midwest colleges and universities in offering community-based learning programs), Eugene M. Lang Visiting Professor at Swarthmore College, and Headley House Distinguished Visitor-in-Residence at Carleton College.
