"Based on her wide-reaching experiences, Dr. Katherine Jackson offers frameworks and examples to demonstrate how the heart of service-learning is mutual engagement. With examples from within the U.S. and around the globe, readers can appreciate many ways to integrate expressive arts with cultural arts for meaningful exchanges."

"Dr. Katherine Jackson's seminal work on service-learning utilizing expressive arts therapy brings an authentic and fresh perspective in the use of the creative arts to bridge human relationships. Dr. Jackson infuses discussion of applicable theory with practical insights gained from firsthand experiences not just facilitating service trips, but from her own personal experiences as a "third culture kid" who grew up in Congo, making this a compelling and fascinating read. Her work not only focuses on bringing expressive arts, such as dance, music, and art making to those being served, it also highlights the cultural exchange that unifies and transforms diverse worldviews."

"Dr. Katherine Jackson has written an engaging account of her service-learning work. I believe that her integration of expressive arts therapy is a powerful way to uplift and unify people. I hope that we can encourage and engage more students and practitioners in expressive arts therapy to participate in service-learning opportunities."
