Abstract | Volunteering with our local community organizations (many of them charitable) is clearly set to become more of a feature of our lives as staff and students working in higher education. This activity is seen as potentially valuable in enhancing the student experience, particularly through a strengthening of students' employability prospects. This paper, written from the perspective of a geographer who is a volunteering champion within his higher education institution, explores some political and institutional settings and backdrops within which volunteering is being encouraged. It discusses the strong record that academic geographers have in reflecting on the development of community volunteering. (As Provided). |
