Greetings! And welcome to the Oberlin College Bonner Center for Service and Learning (Bonner CSL).  I started as the director here in August 2000. I invite you to check out our wealth of programs and resources at the Bonner CSL, and to get to know the other members of our staff. We are here to connect the campus with the community in a multitude of ways. One focus of my work is to serve as a resource for Oberlin College faculty, as they explore teaching pedagogies of academically based community service (also called service learning) and community-based research. These approaches to teaching are exciting new pathways to build upon Oberlin's historical tradition of excellence in both teaching and passion for social justice. My particular contribution to this process is a focus on ecosocial transformation. If you'd like to know more about my work as a scholar-activist, please contact me.
