Re: social justice track at NSEE

One of the things that I try to avoid as much as possible is getting
into discussions about the meanings of particular words. We have had
a great many discussions on definitions of the words "community,"
"service" and "leadership" on our campus as of late (so I find myself
spending a lot more time with students than faculty members any more
;-) ). Nevertheless, I'll throw my $.02 into this discussion about
social change and social justice. Has anyone thought about phrases
like social action or social concern? To me they seem more vague
than these other two, but that may end up being a good thing. Just a
suggestion. I wish I could be at the NSEE conference, but that's a
very busy time for us in our office. So, I expect to hear all about
the discussions on this list-serv.

Peace,

Nick
