Interdisciplinary Service Learning as a Critical Knowledge Transaction Space in University-Community Engagement
Patsarika, Maria; Townsend, Scott
Educational Forum, v86 n2 p185-198 2022
In this article we present a framework for interdisciplinary service learning as border pedagogy grounded on Dewey's educational philosophy and critical social theory. The project Stoa Malakopi allowed design and social science students from two universities in the US and Greece to collaborate in a necessity-driven field of inquiry through engagement with local knowledge. Evaluation showed that students embraced polyphony, reflexivity and situational problem solving as conditions for meaningful university-community partnerships.
