Abstract
Pamela K. Sari is a PhD candidate in the American studies program at Purdue University with a graduate concentration/certificate in women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. Inspired by the Archival Theory and Practice class taught by Professors Susan Curtis and Kristina Bross at Purdue University, her career aspirations are to teach in higher education settings using service-learning as pedagogical and activism tools. This article reflects on her service-learning experience with International Playgroup, a community organization in Greater Lafayette that helps international mothers of preschoolers in their parenting journey by giving advice, providing monthly play activities, and providing swap activities of baby and toddler equipment, clothing, toys, and books. The service-learning experience with International Playgroup inspired her class, Religion and Feminism, which she taught as an Introduction to Women’s Studies class (WGSS280) in fall 2016 and spring 2017.
