Interview of Jane Kendall by Bob Sigmon
Kendall, Jane C.North Carolina, November 28, 1995In December 1995, Stanford University’s Haas Center for Public Service convened a small, representative number of service-learning “pioneers,” who were early adapters of this new, innovative pedagogy, to collect and analyze their stories at the Wingspread Center in Racine, Wisconsin. Co-sponsored by The Johnson Foundation the conference comprised the first major step of a research project designed to uncover and analyze the history of service-learning. The conveners wished to develop and disseminate this history in order to strengthen the service-learning’s theoretical, policy, and practice dimensions and thereby its potential to transform education and society. At Wingspread the pioneers discussed their roots, their aspirations, their concerns and the challenges they faced. These narratives were captured in the book, "Service-Learning: A Movement's Pioneers Reflect on its Origins, Practice and Future," (Stanton, Giles & Cruz, Jossey-Bass, 1999)

Welcome by Bob Sigmon and Herman Blake, Video 1, The Gathering, Golden, Colorado, 2017
Sigmon, BobJohns Island (S.C.) : South Carolina, March 13, 2017 - March 14, 2017In May 2017, Stanford University's Haas Center for Public Service co-sponsored a four-day meeting of scholars and practitioners involved with service-learning and civic engagement in higher education. This meeting became known as "The Gathering: An intergenerational dialogue among service-learning "pioneers" and those who will build and sustain the field in the future." The Gathering was held twenty-two years after a December 1995 Wingspread conference that brought together a group of service-learning "pioneers" to reflect on the field's early history and recommend measures for strengthening policy and practice. The 1995 Wingspread meeting resulted in the publication of the book, "Service-Learning: A Movement's Pioneers Reflect on its Origins, Practice and Future," (Stanton, Giles & Cruz, Jossey-Bass, 1999). As the field has experienced significant growth over the past two decades, the time was right to bring together some of the original pioneers from the 1995 Wingspread conference with a group of younger, "next generation" service-learning and civic engagement scholars. Together, they engaged in a cross-generational dialogue and exploration to reflect on the current state of the service-learning and civic engagement field, now fifty years after its emergence in higher education in the 1960s.
