“Erin Brigham provides an invaluable tool for connecting the lived and scholarly traditions of Catholic social teaching with a service-learning pedagogy that concretely engages urgent signs of the times. She deftly surfaces reflective and interpretive components of social analysis to help students not only bridge insights from the Catholic tradition with contemporary justice issues but also reexamine their perceptions and convictions in light of community encounters. Her treatment of Catholic social theory and praxis remains accessible without sacrificing depth. The embedded reflection questions will support educators as they navigate this demanding yet indispensable pedagogy. This text would work effectively not only in the undergraduate classroom but also for staff and faculty development or with community partners.”
