Teaching Magis At College: Meaning, Mission, And Moral Responsibility, Marcus Mescher
Teaching Magis At College: Meaning, Mission, And Moral Responsibility, Marcus Mescher
Jesuit Higher Education: A Journal
Jesuit colleges and universities highlight terms like magis to accentuate the specific charism of Jesuit education. But when these words and phrases are separated from their context in Ignatian spirituality and the mission of the Society of Jesus, they risk becoming banal jargon. When magis is properly understood and effectively taught, it provides a fundamental horizon of meaning, calls everyone to partner in the mission of Jesuit education, and empowers faculty, staff, and students to embrace moral responsibility in a world marked by sin and suffering. In the praxis of teaching magis, contemplation, imagination, and vocation discernment are three …
Removing Barriers For Contemporary Student Success, Amy Beth Rell, Elisa Robyn
Removing Barriers For Contemporary Student Success, Amy Beth Rell, Elisa Robyn
Jesuit Higher Education: A Journal
This paper examines the contemporary student in higher education and how to position this student for success. Through analysis of Leviticus chapter nineteen verse fourteen (19:14), which states “You shall not curse the deaf, and you shall not place a stumbling block before the blind”, the authors examine how to remove barriers often placed in front of the contemporary post-secondary student. Utilizing the analogy of the contemporary student and the institution of higher education being “blind” and/or “deaf” as in the Biblical verse, the authors propose institutional responses and institutional repercussions that can remove barriers and thereby allow the contemporary …

The Poor And Marginalized Among Us: Contingent Faculty In Jesuit Universities, Richard D. Clark, Carrie Buchanan, Christina Rawls
Jesuit Higher Education: A Journal
Faculty of institutions of higher learning have an opportunity to discuss, debate and discern how to create workplaces that are just and inclusive. As members of Jesuit institutions, we have a moral obligation to do so. How, then, can Jesuit universities justify the poor treatment of contingent faculty, who are now a majority not just in our institutions, but in the country as a whole? Tenure-track employment is a fading tradition in universities throughout the United States. The data also show that non-tenure-track faculty, particularly the growing number of part-time adjunct faculty, constitute a population of marginalized, often poor, employees …

Reimagining Econ. 101 – Indigenous, Buddhist, Jesuit, Secular Education, Susan Jacobson
Jesuit Higher Education: A Journal
A basic econ course, because it is a foundation for informed citizenship, is a requirement in many liberal arts colleges. Historically, orthodox economic theory has heavily influenced this course. But this narrow and theoretical approach to economics is not particularly useful in addressing the glaring challenges of inequality and global warming or inspiring our students to engage in solutions to social problems. This paper presents some ideas for professors who, after exposing students to the content of mainstream economics, want to challenge students to question the foundational assumptions and the consumer culture they live in by exposing them to an …
