Call for Papers: Educating for Personal and Social Responsibility

God knows, we need this:

Educating for Personal and Social Responsibility:
A Twenty-First-Century Imperative

October 13-15, 2011
Westin Long Beach, California
Call for Proposals Deadline: February 23

Educating for Personal and Social Responsibility: A Twenty-First-Century Imperative will highlight campus examples of best practices and bring together faculty, student affairs educators, academic administrators, and others who are working to foster students’ personal and social responsibility—including ethical reasoning and judgment, personal and academic integrity, civic and democratic engagement, global understanding, and perspective-taking and intercultural competency.

The focus of the conference will be on innovative and practical approaches to educating for personal and social responsibility, particularly approaches reflecting academic and student affairs collaboration, campus–community partnerships, and global contexts.

We invite proposals on four key themes:

* Refining and assessing essential personal and social responsibility outcomes
* Innovative models and pedagogies—helping students build principled and purposeful lives
* What the research reveals about educating for personal and social responsibility
* Weaving personal and social responsibility into the fabric of institutions

Learn more about this conference and the call for proposals online.

We look forward to reading your proposals.
