SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Palgrave Studies in Global Citizenship Education and Democracy Series Editor: Jason Laker, San José State University, USA This book outlines how undergraduate students engage with civic and community projects and how this can be encouraged by their universities. It also explores how universities can build on this involvement and develop undergraduates' civic and democratic capacities, including programmatic strategies and conceptual frameworks for understanding the students' activities. As higher education across the globe experiences increasing student numbers it is important to understand how students engage with civic and community service.
