Abstract

This article examines current literature, normative practices, and essential critiques around community service and service‐learning in the institution of higher education. It specifically addresses the importance of economic and racial justice in efforts aimed at liberatory social change. The argument contends that community service and service‐learning initiatives within higher education can and should play a more significant role in fostering liberatory social change for communities that have been systematically disadvantaged and have often been engaged with only intermittently as a form of charity or service.
