This timely book brings together activist scholars from a number of disciplines (political science, geography, sociology, anthropology, and communications) to provide new insights into a growing trend in publicly engaged research and scholarship.

Offers a diverse array of innovative teaching and research strategies from engaged universities - from Australia, Egypt, Malaysia, Mexico, Scotland, South Africa, and the United States - that demonstrates how learning by doing elevates students' consciousness and develops their civic capabilities.

The first reference book to introduce the concept and development of service-learning in China, providing a full picture of the infusion of service-learning into the Chinese educational system and describes this new teaching experience using case studies, empirical data, and educational and institutional policies within Chinese context.

A landmark in our understanding of international community-engaged learning programs, this book invites educators to rethink everything from disciplinary assumptions to the role of higher education in a globalizing world.

This volume addresses the need for cross-disciplinary and cross-methodological communication about collaborative modelling.
