Our first ServCollab Perspective article by Fisk and Alkire (2021, p. 194), which proposed the metaphor of service ecosystem health “as the interdependent state of private, public, and planetary well-being necessary for sustaining life.”
This article reimagined service science, broadened transformative service research, build the service ecosystem health metaphor, outlined the Goldilocks Civilization thought experiment, and explored designing for a Goldilocks civilization.
The goal of that article was to elevate service science to uplift human well-being.
