Inclusion and Social Justice as Peacemaking within Higher Education
Get PDFThe Journal of Social Encounters has been described as “a venue in which we can encounter one other and build the common good together” (Okumu & Pagnucco, 2017, p. ii). In many ways, this description of the Journal mirrors what we endeavor to accomplish in higher education in the United States in general, and in Catholic higher education in particular. While our mission statements vary, and how we achieve the mission will look different on all of our campuses, there is widespread consensus that higher education provides a space wherein people can learn together for the good of supporting our nation and and the global community. In other words, education in the United States – both public and private – builds the common good both nationally and globally. There may be rampant disagreement about how one defines common good, but the core of the higher education enterprise in the United States is clear and compelling

Review of At Play in the Lions’ Den, A Biography and Memoir of Daniel Berrigan by Jim Forest
Get PDFIn 1957 Daniel Berrigan (1921-2016), a thirty-six-year-old Jesuit priest, about to begin teaching New Testament at Lemoyne College in his hometown of Syracuse, New York, published his first book. A book of poetry entitled Time Without Number, it won the Lamont Poetry Award and was also nominated for a National Book Award. At the time, he realized that, Publishers would now take almost anything I chose to compile; the question of quality was largely in my own hands and my own sense of things (47). In the next four years, he published two more books of poetry and two books of essays. Poetry and writing were only one facet of this extraordinary spirit’s gifts. As his younger friend, the Jesuit artist William Hart McNichols put it, Dan Berrigan had been given the ambiguous favor of the Joseph coat (257)

Educators Must Be Advocates: Advocating for Muslim Students
Get PDFAs educators interested in supporting linguistically and culturally diverse learners, we have had to view our roles in different ways since the presidential campaign and the election of Trump. In this article, two teacher educators and two inservice ESL teachers in the U.S. reflect on our various experiences working with Muslim students and preparing teachers to support Muslim students in the current socio-political context. We discuss these experiences with the goal of suggesting some priorities in teacher education. Ultimately, to prepare teachers to be effective teachers for Muslim students requires them to go beyond being culturally responsive to becoming advocates and activists. This advocacy and activism necessitates a push against the cultural norms of Whiteness that dominate U.S. teacher education
