Welcome!

Since 1994, the Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning (MJCSL) has been the premiere national, peer-reviewed journal publishing articles written by faculty and service-learning educators on research, theory, pedagogy, and other issues related to academic (curriculum-based) service-learning in higher education.

To keep up with the expansion in the civic engagement field, beginning with volume 15 the MJCSL will expand its purview. We will now review articles focused on:

  • University-community partnerships
  • Engaged/public scholarship (work which involves and benefits a community AND advances a faculty member's scholarship or creative work)
  • Academic (curriculum-based) service-learning

The MJCSL submission process remains the same: submit an abstract/precis by December 20th, the editor will invite submissions based on these abstracts by mid-January, and articles are due the last Monday in March for consideration in the next volume year.

Authors are welcome to contact the editor, Jeffrey Howard (jphoward@umich.edu) to discuss prospective submissions.
