Reviews

Carol MA Hok-ka and her colleagues from Chinese universities illustrate how service-learning, informed by Confucian philosophy and Chinese cultural values, has created a new paradigm for Chinese higher education. The rapid emergence of professional service-learning associations in Southeast Asia affirms that the concept of the T-shaped student is gaining global perspective within diverse cultural contexts. The volume is a must-read for individuals interested in and engaged with the growing intersection of Western and Eastern approaches to higher education. --HIRAM E. FITZGERALD, Associate Provost for University Outreach and Engagement, Michigan State University
