This collection offers a further refinement of what typically comes under the remit of service-learning, switching the focus from the learning experience of the learner, to the educator and the deep and enriching professional learning opportunities that service-learning can offer. This approach to service-learning promotes collaborative practices amongst professional and in-service educators, and encourages an integration of theory and practice. The international contributors use their own experiences as well as current research to provide a thorough exploration of service-learning from national and international perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimothy Murphy is Lecturer in Educational Research and Policy at the University of Limerick, Ireland.
