Learning through service in a developing country: The Malawi service learning research study abroad
Paper presented at the Lillly Conference on College and University Teaching: Evidence Based Teaching and Learning, Greensboro, NC
Abstract:
What key cultural and moral contexts provide the seeding ground for envisioning better futures (for more than just the few) in a globally-intertwined world? Student travelers share their experiences as participants in a month-long service learning research study abroad in Malawi, in Sub-Saharan Africa. The project promotes a more robust and rounded understanding of globally distant others, and the establishment of a global “ethic of care,” through joining hands with Malawians to accomplish much-needed work.
