Sociology represents one of the most common disciplines for service-learning, as service puts a human face on sociological theory. In the syllabus for Social Solutions at Johnson State College, sociologist Susan Green-Reynolds informs students that contemporary social issues that include homelessness, affordable housing, AIDS, urban issues, sexual orientation, racism, sexism, and environmental degradation will be both examined objectively and experienced subjectively. The subjective experience arises through 30 hours of community service which all students perform to complement readings by Jonathan Kozol, Randy Shilts, and others about American social problems. Students are also given the option of taking an accompanying full-credit course which consists of 60 hours of community service field work performed during their spring break.
