Abstract: Service and activist learning (SAL) and teaching about globalization can be mutually reinforcing pedagogies. SAL combines community activity with social analysis, attracting many students who want to make the world better. Integrating globalization helps them place local problems in the context of world trade and investment policies and dynamics. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of global processes, students explore ways of responding in their daily lives and become more effective social change advocates.
