The Changing Tides of Volunteering in Development: Discourse, Knowledge and Practice The Changing Tides of Volunteering View metadata, citationin andDevelopment: similar papers at core.ac.uk Discourse, brought to you by CORE provided by IDS OpenDocs Knowledge and Practice Erika Lopez Franco and Thea Shahrokh Abstract This article explores the changing narratives of volunteering in development and the interplay of volunteering with global and local theories of how change happens. Firstly, we analyse the links between the evolution of mainstream development trends and changes in volunteering approaches and programmes. Secondly, we look at how changing conceptions of volunteering have repositioned international volunteering in relation to national and local contexts. Thirdly, we present the implications of shifts in understandings of knowledge creation, which happens from the ground up, on volunteering research and programming. This discussion is situated within pressure for ‘results’ within contemporary development discourse and practice. The article concludes that the volunteering sector is at a crossroads; organisations working in meaningful partnerships with volunteers from local to global levels must remain at the forefront – questioning mainstream trends and advocating people-centred development. This article draws on a literature review undertaken to inform the Valuing Volunteering project. 1 Introduction an integral part of human interactions and social As part of the Valuing Volunteering research, a dynamics before it became framed and used as an literature review was commissioned (Lopez Franco approach for achieving development outcomes. and Shahrokh 2012) with a twofold objective.

Secondly, as a resource that could impact of international volunteering (Popazzi become useful for future research into the impact of 2004; Moore McBride and Daftary 2005; international volunteering.

For example, Handy and Wadsworth 1996; Fyfe and Milligan how are volunteers perceived by the communities 2003; Meijs and Brudney 2007; Hvenmark and von in which they are volunteering? How do volunteers, Essen 2010; Hustinx 2010); another area of focus who are themselves from the poorest and most is on volunteering within the development sector. marginalised communities, experience volunteering? The latter, excluding a few exceptions (Pinkau 1981; Devereux 2010; Patel et al. 2007; Lough et al. 2012), Taking as its basis the findings from the literature largely overlooks the fact that volunteering has been review, this article will explore the changing narratives IDS Bulletin Volume 46 Number 5 September 2015 © 2015 The Authors.

The main contention of the course is that after the intense debate against the applicability of postcolonial studies to Latin America (Klor de Alva, Coronil, Mignolo, and Adorno), there is a new generation of scholars who are proposing postcolonial readings of colonial discourses. The course will develop its argument in three complementary directions. First, it will provide a general definition of colonialism, coloniality and postcolonialism (Osterhammel ,Said, Spivak, Bhabha, Loomba, Young and Quijano). Then, we will address the ways in which these debates have been inflected in two different geographical areas that share an extended period of colonialism, that in some cases includes more than one form of imperial domination: the Caribbean and Latin American Tierra Firme (1493- 1700) and the Postcolonial Anglo, French and Hispanic Caribbean (1930-2000). Finally, each one of these colonial experiences will be examined through cultural representations and symbolical productions to propose an alternative canon of postcolonial narratives that can be studied in a comparative framework.
