Keynote Invitation: IARSLCE 2026

Dr. Rajesh Tandon will be delivering the keynote address at the International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement (IARSLCE) 2026 Conference.

The conference will be held from October 11–13, 2026, at Loyola University in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. This year’s theme, “The Fierce Urgency of Now: Building Solidarity and Trust amid Emerging Realities,” calls for critical engagement with the pressing social, environmental, and institutional challenges shaping our world today.

IARSLCE’s global platform brings together scholars, practitioners, students, and community partners to advance research and practice in service-learning and community engagement. Dr. Tandon’s keynote will contribute to these conversations by foregrounding the importance of knowledge democracy, participatory research, and the social responsibility of higher education in building more just and sustainable futures.
