- Summary
- A collection of 28 essays written by a range of educators, including presidents, deans, faculty members, students, and religious life professionals, on themes of religious pluralism and spirituality in higher education. Essays provide scholarly analysis, practical information, and inspiration for those who agree that higher education can combine both head and heart in the teaching and learning process and in campus and community life. Kazanjian is Dean of Religious and Spiritual Life and Co-Director of the Peace and Justice Studies Program at Wellesley College. Laurence is Co-Founder and Director of the Education as Transformation Project at Wellesley College. Material stems from a September 1998 meeting. The volume lacks a subject index.
