This book is the first to discuss, in practical and theoretical terms, the pedagogical approach of service-learning to establish partnerships for social good that build disaster resilience. Across 12 chapters a collection of academics and practitioners provide insights on the benefits of utilizing service-learning to address existing needs, build community capacity, and strengthen social networks while enhancing student learning.

Key features:

  • Discuss how sustainable service-learning partnerships can contribute to building disaster-resilient communities;
  • Provide practical tools to cultivate and manage collaborative partnerships, and engage in reflective practices;
  • Integrate disciplines to create innovative approaches to complex problems;
  • Share best practices, lessons learned, and case examples that identify strategies for integrating service-learning and research into course design;
  • Offer considerations for ethical decision-making and for the development of equitable solutions when engaging with stakeholders;
  • Identify strategies to bridge the gap between academia and practice while highlighting resources that institutions of higher education can contribute toward disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation.
  • Service-Learning for Disaster Resilience will serve as a user-friendly guide for universities, local government agencies, emergency management professionals, community leaders, and grassroots initiatives in affected communities.
