- Title
'Everyone's got room to grow': A discourse analysis of service-learning rhetoric in higher education.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article explores representations emergent in discourse about service learning in an effort to understand what gives the notion special value. A job presentation of a candidate for dean of faculty, articles published in a college newspaper, descriptions posted on a college website and commentary offered in an interview with a student demonstrate that representations of service learning are salient in multiple contexts and presuppose the potential to transform the lives of everyone involved. This article identifies one of the discursive constructs making transformation possible - even inevitable - in reflections on service learning, and uses the construct to explore how it shapes a single instance of service learning's failure.
