Special Thematic Issue of the American Behavioral Scientist on
"The University's Responsibilities in Troubled Times"
This issue of the American Behavioral Scientist critically reexamines
the role of the university in today's troubled times. How has the
university responded to the pressing problems confronting U.S. society?
How should it be responding? Is the traditional model of university
education--of professors lecturing students in hallowed, ivy-covered
halls in a university "on a hill"--appropriate to prepare students for
the next century?
Topics that would be appropriate for submission for this thematic issue
of ABS include:=20
- As a (corporate) citizen, what are the rights and responsibilities of
the university?
- To what extent does or can service-learning meet the needs of the
community?
- What can or should the university do to educate its students about
living in a diverse society?
- What are universities doing, if anything, to address the educational
needs of non-university students, such as illiterate adults in the
community or poor children failing in public schools?
- Case studies of campus-community collaboration to in research, =
service
or social action projects.
We are looking for tightly-presented papers, ranging from 3500-6000
words (15-25 pages typescript). They may be theoretical, conceptual,
or prescriptive essays, or they may be reports and analyses of =
empirical
research. Abstracts, proposals (300-500 words), or conference papers
should be submitted for consideration by Sept. 1, 1997. Completed
drafts will be due by Jan. 1, 1998.
For additional information or to submit proposals (please submit to
both), please contact:
