Abstract
Decolonizing International Service Learning: Pre- and Post-Covid Perspectives by O'Sullivan and Smaller presents timely and insightful perspectives on International Service Learning (ISL) that warrant consideration before ISL program planning. Throughout the book, the authors provide numerous thought-provoking concepts and questions about ISL, advocating readers - particularly those involved with ISL - to examine one’s past and future ISL involvement deeply and critically toward a more decolonized approach.
