Ubuntu as a Springboard for Service-Learning: Insights From a Journalism Study Abroad Project in Zambia
Abstract
Journalism is a team profession. Among its foremost functions to society include “to inform” and “to educate.” On both the team and functions scores, journalism is tailor-made for being taught using Ubuntuism. Its tenets are akin to those of Ubuntuism, described as a philosophy that privileges educating the public, facilitating dialogue and participation in civic life, and eradicating social hierarchy while valuing listening to promote, achieve, and maintain harmony. This chapter therefore elaborates on how Ubuntu served as the pedagogical impetus for a study abroad service-learning course entitled Media and Journalistic Practice in Zambia. The chapter provides insights from the instructor and anecdotes from American students who participated in the program.
