"I welcome this valuable and timely resource for scholars and teachers in the field of rhetoric and writing who want to more fully understand the issues surrounding service-learning, civic engagement, and public/community-based writing. This volume outlines essential foundational knowledge and presents stories from a wide range of classrooms/community partnerships. In the end, this text will enable teachers to offer students additional opportunities to reflect on and engage in their communities."
