Reflections, a peer reviewed journal, provides a forum for scholarship on writing, service-learning and community literacy. Originally founded as a venue for teachers, researchers, students and community partners to share research and discuss the theoretical, political and ethical implications of community-based writing and writing instruction, Reflections publishes a lively collection of essays, empirical studies, community writing, student work, interviews and reviews in a format that brings together emerging scholars and leaders in the fields of community-based writing and civic engagement.

We welcome materials that:

• Report on research
• Showcase community-based and student writing and/or artwork
• Investigate and represent literacy practices in diverse community settings
• Discuss theoretical, political and ethical implications of community-based writing
• Explore connections between service-learning, civic engagement, and current scholarship in composition studies and related fields
