Students examine the profession and themselves in relation to theories of social justice and service-learning. Investigating opportunities for service-learning in their own classrooms/schools, students will also participate in service-learning experiences themselves either in their own classroom or in the community. Through journaling, discussions, service to others, and readings, autoethnography is the methodology employed to explore the theories and concepts as well as being the end product of the investigation.
