Opis

This book reconceptualises transformative learning through an investigation of the learning process and outcomes of International Service-Learning (ISL). Drawing upon key philosophers and theorists it offers an integrated, multi-dimensional approach, linking transformative learning to the development of the authentic self, and analysing the aesthetic, moral and relational dimensions of ISL in an increasingly globalized world.
