From charity to solidarity: the promise and challenges of service learning in labour courses
by Kimberly Christensen
International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education (IJPEE), Vol. 8, No. 4, 2017

Abstract: Service learning, an underutilised pedagogy in economics, provides the perfect vehicle for the introduction of heterodox approaches that value the role of institutions, ideologies, laws, and history in economic outcomes. This article describes the author's experience with one such course that combines in-class discussion of labour economics and labour history with service learning in worker centres and similar alt-labour organisations.
