UNDERSTANDING
CIVIC SERVICE:
INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH AND APPLICATION
The
Center for Social Development’s
Civic Service Research Fellows’ Seminar
Friday,
March 2, 2007
Brown School of Social Work
The
Center for Social Development (CSD) hosts the latest research on civic
service and volunteerism worldwide. Civic Service Research Fellows present
their research in four separate panels on international service, service-learning,
national service, and service in Latin America. A range of countries are
represented, including Australia, Brazil, Chile, Dominican Republic, Ecuador,
Germany, Guyana, Nepal, Turkey, and Uruguay. Each panel addresses program
and policy issues related to service and development.
Collectively,
CSD's Research Fellows are from 17 countries and study service and volunteerism
across more than 30 countries. They all address topics germane to social
work, focusing on service as an intervention with psychological, social,
economic, and political impacts for individuals, communities, and nations.
