Bruce Herzberg. Community Service and Critical Teaching.

Herzberg, Bruce. "Community Service and Critical Teaching." CCC 45.3 (1994): 307-319.

Abstract:

Herzberg argues that questions about social structures, ideology and social justice need to be intentionally addressed in community service learning classes. He critiques first how students often regard social problems as chiefly personal and thus dismiss systemic explanations for problems such as homelessness. Such community service learning results in charity not social change. Herzberg reviews his curriculum at the business school where he works and concludes with a summation of his goal: students as better citizens who practice rhetorical and practical social transformation.
