Call
for Chapter Proposals: Civic Engagement and Community Service at Research
Universities: Engaging Undergraduates for Social Justice, Social Change, and
Responsible Citizenship
Proposal
Deadline: April 10, 2015
In
the Wingspread Declaration on Renewing the Civic Mission of the American
Research University (Boyte & Hollander, 1999), scholars called for
American research universities to renew their missions as the agents of
democracy and reshape their cultures to better engage students in the work of
citizenship. In our edited volume, authors respond to this call by highlighting
the ways in which public research universities are undertaking this important
work by developing undergraduates’ civic and democratic capacities.
In
this volume, authors may address 1) strategies to develop undergraduates’ sense
of civic responsibility, engagement in social change, and abilities to work
with others across differences; 2) factors predicting undergraduates’ civic and
political behaviors; or, 3) outcomes associated with students’ civic and
community involvement. We seek chapters that incorporate a variety of data
sources to achieve these outcomes.
The
editors of this volume are Dr. Krista M. Soria and Dr. Tania D. Mitchell
(University of Minnesota). The text will be published by Palgrave Macmillan.
Chapters should be no more than 6,000 words and full chapters are due July 30,
2015.
Please
submit chapter proposals to Krista Soria at ksoria@umn.edu
and include the following information:
- Overview of chapter: Include
the proposed title, sources of data, and any other relevant information to
set the context.
- Preliminary outline: Include
an outline of the proposed chapter.
- References: Provide selected references
that you may include in the chapter.
