Chapter 1. Community engagement in higher education: A general overview -- Chapter 2. Community engagement and service-learning in Africa and South African higher education: A question of relevance. A historical and current sketch -- Chapter 3. Human development and the capability approach: Alternative frameworks for community engagement and service-learning -- Chapter 4. Human development processes and values: Community engagement and service-learning spaces -- Chapter 5. Affiliation: The architectonic and capability frameworks in community engagement and service-learning -- Chapter 6. Common good professionals and citizenship capabilities: Community engagement and service-learning approach -- Chapter 7. Transformative change and partial justice: Community engagement possibilities and limitations -- Chapter 8. Conclusion: Human development and the common good-community engagement and service-learning: Implications for higher education.

This book establishes community engagement and service-learning as pathways to advancing human development and common good. Using the human development and capability approach as normative frameworks, with South Africa as a frame of reference, the author investigates the theoretical contributions and ultimate benefits of university-community partnerships. In doing so, this book demonstrates that three interrelated capabilities - affiliation, common good professionals and local citizenship - are developed through community engagement and service-learning. Subsequently, the notion of transformative change through community engagement and service-learning is illuminated, particularly when operating within the context of power differentials, inequality and extreme poverty. This book will be of interest and value to students and scholars of service-learning, and its implications for partnerships between universities and external communities.
