[163]-173) and index.The university and society -- The transformation of the Antebellum College From right thinking to liberal learning -- Liberal education, liberal democracy, and the soul of the university -- Some ethical dimensions of scientific progress.Universities were once largely insular institutions whose purview extended no further than the campus gates. Not anymore. Today's universities have evolved into multifaceted organizations with complex connections to government, business, and the community. This thought-provoking book by Harold Shapiro, former president of both Princeton University and the University of Michigan, and Chairman of the National Bioethics Advisory Commission under President Bill Clinton, explores the role the modern university should play as an ethical force and societal steward. Based on the 2003 Clark Kerr lectures, A Larger Sense of Purpose draws from Shapiro's twenty-five years of experience leading major research universities and takes up key topics of debate in higher education. What are the nature and objectives of a liberal education? How should universities address the increasing commercialization not only of intercollegiate sports but of education and research? What are the university's responsibilities for the moral education of students? The book begins with an expanded history of the modern research institution followed by essays on ethics, the academic curriculum, the differences between private and public higher education, the future of intellectual property rights, and the changing relationship between the nation's universities and the for-profit sector. Shapiro calls for universities to be more accountable morally as well as academically. He urges scientists not only to educate others about the potential and limitations of science but also to acknowledge the public's distress over the challenges presented by the very success of the scientific enterprise. He advocates for a more intimate connection between professional training and the liberal arts--in the hope that future doctors, lawyers, and business executives will be educated in ethics and the social sciences as well as they are in anatomy, torts, and leveraged buyouts. Candid, timely, and provocative, A Larger Sense of Purpose demands the attention of not only those in academics but of anyone who shares an interest in the soul of education.Education, HigherSocial aspectsUnited StatesEducation, HigherAims and objectivesUnited StatesEducation, HigherUnited StatesHistoryEducation, HigherSocial aspectsEducation, HigherAims and objectivesEducation, HigherHistory.306.43/2Shapiro Harold T.1935-66794MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996200057903316A larger sense of purpose2221480UNISA04841nam 22007694a 450 991095904790332120240815122656.09780231511025023151102710.7312/chey11764(CKB)1000000000465619(EBL)991212(OCoLC)614456116(SSID)ssj0000125146(PQKBManifestationID)11136727(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000125146(PQKBWorkID)10026962(PQKB)11334041(DE-B1597)458746(OCoLC)979720303(DE-B1597)9780231511025(Au-PeEL)EBL991212(CaPaEBR)ebr10183552(Perlego)775520(MiAaPQ)EBC991212(EXLCZ)99100000000046561920050322d2006 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe Columbia guide to American Indian literatures of the United States since 1945 /edited by Eric CheyfitzNew York Columbia University Pressc20061 online resource (449 p.)The Columbia guides to literature since 1945Description based upon print version of record.9780231117647 0231117647 Includes bibliographical references and index.The (post)colonial construction of Indian country: U.S. American Indian literatures and Federal Indian law / Eric Cheyfitz -- American Indian fiction and anticolonial resistance / Arnold Krupat and Michael A.

Blaeser -- American Indian drama and the politics of performance / Shari Huhndorf -- Sovereignty and the struggle for representation in American Indian nonfiction / David Murray -- Imagining self and community in American Indian autobiography / Kendall Johnson.The Columbia Guide to American Indian Literatures of the United States Since 1945 is the first major volume of its kind to focus on Native literatures in a postcolonial context. Written by a team of noted Native and non-Native scholars, these essays consider the complex social and political influences that have shaped American Indian literatures in the second half of the twentieth century, with particular emphasis on core themes of identity, sovereignty, and land. In his essay comprising part I of the volume, Eric Cheyfitz argues persuasively for the necessary conjunction of Indian literatures and federal Indian law from Apess to Alexie. Part II is a comprehensive survey of five genres of literature: fiction (Arnold Krupat and Michael Elliott), poetry (Kimberly Blaeser), drama (Shari Huhndorf), nonfiction (David Murray), and autobiography (Kendall Johnson), and discusses the work of Vine Deloria Jr., N. Scott Momaday, Joy Harjo, Simon Ortiz, Louise Erdrich, Leslie Marmon Silko, Gerald Vizenor, Jimmy Santiago Baca, and Sherman Alexie, among many others. Drawing on historical and theoretical frameworks, the contributors examine how American Indian writers and critics have responded to major developments in American Indian life and how recent trends in Native writing build upon and integrate traditional modes of storytelling. Sure to be considered a groundbreaking contribution to the field, The Columbia Guide to American Indian Literatures of the United States Since 1945 offers both a rich critique of history and a wealth of new information and insight.Columbia guides to literature since 1945.American literatureIndian authorsHistory and criticismAmerican literature20th centuryHistory and criticismIndians of North AmericaIntellectual lifeIdentity (Psychology) in literaturePostcolonialism in literatureImperialism in literatureIndians in literatureAmerican literatureIndian authorsHistory and criticism.American literatureHistory and criticism.Indians of North AmericaIntellectual life.Identity (Psychology) in literature.Postcolonialism in literature.Imperialism in literature.Indians in literature.810.9897/009045Cheyfitz Eric, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut451757Cheyfitz Eric451757MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959047903321The Columbia guide to American Indian literatures of the United States since 19454458764UNINA
