At This Time and In This Place: Vocation and Higher Education
This Volume Champions Vocation And Calling As Key Elements Of Undergraduate Education. It Offers A Historical And Theoretical Account Of Vocational Reflection And Discernment, As Well As Suggesting How These Endeavours Can Be Implemented Through Specific Educational Practices. Against The Backdrop Of The Current National Conversation About The Purposes Of Higher Education, It Argues That The Undergraduate Years Can Provide A Certain Amount Of Relatively Unfettered Time, And A 'free And Ordered Space', In Which Students Can Consider Their Callings.
