ABSTRACT

Critical service-learning (CSL) is an important pedagogy for the preparation of community practitioners. In this article, two service-learning practitioners offer “Rights to the City” (RTTC) as a framework to guide what “social change” means in CSL and for undergraduate students preparing to work in community settings. The article outlines three central tenets of RTTC: the democratically reimagined city (DRC), inhabitance, and difference. It then analyzes three case studies from their own service-learning courses to demonstrate the tenets in practice. The article concludes with considerations for how RTTC can shape forms of community-driven partnerships that prioritize social justice outcomes as part of student learning and practitioner training toward radical community practice.

摘要

关键服务学习 (CSL) 是培养社区从业人员的重要教学法。在本文中，两位服务学习从业者提供“城市权利”（RTTC）作为指导“社会变革”在 CSL 中的含义以及准备在社区环境中工作的本科生的框架。文章概述了 RTTC 的三个核心原则：民主重塑城市 (DRC)、居住和差异。然后，它分析了他们自己的服务学习课程中的三个案例研究，以在实践中展示这些原则。文章最后考虑了 RTTC 如何塑造社区驱动的伙伴关系形式，将社会正义成果作为学生学习和从业人员培训的一部分，以实现激进的社区实践。
