Presented By: Barger Leadership Institute
Problems and Possibilities for International Service Learning
a presentation by Willy Oppenheim, Founder and Executive Director of Omprakash
This presentation raises critical concerns about the power asymmetries and politics of knowledge that are embedded within the dominant paradigm of international service-learning in higher education. In particular, it critiques the awkward incentive structures that emerge when volunteering is commodified.
The presentation then introduces the case study of Omprakash EdGE and its attempt to disrupt these interlocking trends. It proposes an alternative vision of what it might mean for students to 'know the world' in an era marked by increasing connectivity as well as increasing inequality.
