“…While some have documented improved outcomes for students who participate in service learning, there have also been criticisms that service learning is too focused on student, rather than community, outcomes (Braunsberger and Flamm 2013;Taggart and Crisp 2011). Others question the direct academic benefit, success, and the quality of service-learning activities (Kolenko et al 1996).…”

In this article we consider applied anthropology as it exists at the program level. While individual faculty can promote applied training, sustainability in applied education is only possible when entire faculties—and the college and university administrations that provide the necessary financial, structural, and social support—are committed to this approach. While many options for program development exist, we argue that being aware of what other programs are doing, and what is and is not working for them, is both time‐saving and transformative. This article provides overviews of common applied anthropology training approaches, discusses the importance of support for applied programs, and introduces the rest of the articles in this series, which focus more specifically on particular approaches, programs, and training needs.

“…Service‐learning is not a new phenomenon in community colleges (Barnett, 1996; Berson, 1994; Taggart & Crisp, 2011), and has been shown to improve student learning outcomes, encourage and develop civic engagement for community college students, and to provide students with a framework to apply “real‐world relevance” to their course that extends beyond an “isolated academic exercise” (Elwell & Bean, 2001, p. 59). Between 1997 and 2009, the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) led a national program called Community Colleges Broadening Horizons through Service Learning (Robinson, 2000; 2007).…”

“…Service-learning programs , or educational programs with an applied, not-for-profit service-oriented purpose, offer real-world engagement opportunities in a variety of settings that benefit students and communities in transformative ways (Barney, Kirk, & Fife, 2011; Bedolla, 2012; d’ Arlach, Sánchez, & Feuer, 2009; Dewey, 1916/1990; Freire, 2001; Guenther & Miller, 2011; hooks, 2003; Jenkins, 2012; Keen & Hall, 2009; O’Loughlin-Brooks & Smith, 2011; Taggart & Crisp, 2011). Yet the potential of service-learning programs to increase the quality of educational opportunities specifically for underserved Latina/o students has not been explored in depth.…”

This review of research suggests a need for service-learning programs that empower Latina/o students. Research on the status of Latina/os in higher education and key challenges to Latina/o student success highlights the demand for innovative programmatic solutions. A review of postcolonialist educational and Latina/o student identity theory along with case studies from critical service-learning programs is presented to provide a framework for program innovation, and recommendations are made for future program development research. Resumen Esta revisión de la literatura sugirió la necesidad existente de programas de aprendizaje en servicio que emancipen estudiantes latina/os. Investigación sobre el estado de estudiantes latino/as en educación superior y los retos claves para el éxito de estudiantes latina/os acentúa la demanda de soluciones programáticas innovadoras. Una revisión de teoría post-colonialista educacional e identidad estudiantil junto con casos de estudio de servicio crítico de programas de aprendizaje se presenta para proveer un marco de innovación en programas, y se hacen recomendaciones para el desarrollo de investigación de futuros programas.
