Cultivating Vocation in Literary Studies by Stephanie Johnson Paperback Book

Description: Cultivating Vocation in Literary Studies by Stephanie Johnson, Erin VanLaningham An important resource for educators who desire to use literary texts in cultivating vocational exploration among students or in scholarship on vocation. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The concept of vocation has garnered significant attention as a means of speaking about purposeful living and the multiple responsibilities of civic life, which converge with the broader goals of liberal education. This volume addresses the important role that literary studies can and should play in that conversation. With attention to the forms, voices and praxis of the discipline, and informed by the public humanities, these thirteen chapters address critical questions for cultivating vocation in students: How might the varied fields within literary studies invite students to consider meaning and purpose? How might our pedagogies and theories of interpretation inform the direction of their lives? The chapters offer readers a new language and framework for reinvigorating literary studies as a productive means to answer lifes most significant questions, while also modelling how vocational exploration can be incorporated into multiple disciplines and contexts. The volume as a whole positions literary studies as vital to the conversation about value, civic engagement, and purpose as it shapes not only the lives of students but also the future of higher education. Author Biography Stephanie Johnson, Associate Professor, Chair of English and Director of the Honors Program, The College of St. Scholastica. Review "This fine collection marks an important stage of maturity in the ongoing conversation about vocation and calling in higher education. The contributors convincingly demonstrate how deep questions of meaning and purpose are shaped by literary forms, readerly identities and pedagogical practices. This book will be of use across the disciplines wherever teachers are helping students to think about their identities and their future directions in life." -David S.
