Description

Explore the complex dynamics of student service with Gifts, Virtues and Obligations of University Volunteering: The Proper Thing to Do. Published by Routledge, this book provides a critical and ethnographic look at the world of university volunteering. By applying anthropological theories of reciprocal gift exchange, the text examines the tension between volunteering seen as a free choice versus something that is coerced. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of whether these actions are truly altruistic or driven by self-interest. The book investigates how changing expectations in the volunteer sector relate to the exercise of power and how social norms or structural constraints affect individual agency. Through a detailed case study, this work offers a grounded perspective for students, academics, and researchers interested in the social sciences, anthropology, and the sociology of service.
