Please respond directly to the individuals named at the bottom of this email. Sarena Community-Campus Partnerships for Health ---------- Forwarded message ---------- 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.
