In fact, the whole book might be seen as a response to Immanuel Kant’s attempt to offer an account of religion “within the limits of reason alone.” The author posits five religious and vocational themes inherited from the Enlightenment, demonstrating how these are modulated into a new key. These five shifts are described as: beyond otherness to difference; beyond univocity to multiplicity; beyond the rational to the affective; beyond results to process; and beyond activity to integration. A final section observes that vocation has been subjected to other limits—focusing only on certain stages of life, limited to particular religious perspectives, or restricted to matters of paid employment. These limitations should be removed, so that vocational reflection is available to all students in all aspects of their lives.","PeriodicalId":394501,"journal":{"name":"Hearing Vocation Differently","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122401246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It begins by observing that academic discourse about religion is too often divorced from the actual experiences of real human beings, but careful attention to such experiences is essential in the undergraduate environment. It then tells the story of one institution that underwent a significant transition, from its original focus on a single faith tradition to become a genuinely multi-faith environment—for its students and for its faculty and staff. This process required wrestling with the privilege that was (often unconsciously) enjoyed by adherents to the institution’s founding faith tradition (Christianity).\u0000The chapter concludes with a discussion of the relationship between an institutional shift to a more interfaith perspective and classroom efforts to make sure that multiple traditions and lifestances are given voice.","PeriodicalId":394501,"journal":{"name":"Hearing Vocation Differently","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114847106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In what ways can the individual and the institution make space for each other, and what might transpire as a result? The author begins by presenting her own story of negotiating these issues, demonstrating that attention to both diversity and institutional identity is necessary to provide for meaningful interfaith encounters. The chapter then provides two concrete examples of the advantages that can accrue in the vocationally significant areas of academic advising and teaching the general education curriculum. The chapter’s overall theme is that of “response-ability”: not simply responsibility in the usual sense, but an ability and a willingness to respond thoughtfully in all situations—and particularly in the religiously diverse context of higher education today.","PeriodicalId":394501,"journal":{"name":"Hearing Vocation Differently","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126463969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human beings chart the future direction of their lives based on their construction of stories about themselves; moreover, these stories are woven together and interconnect in complex ways. Such self-constructed and self-referential narratives are best described using the word myth: we are always engaged in a process of myth-making as we explore the contours of our lives. This language, suggests the author, may help us to reshape the concept of vocation in a way that recognizes the dynamic nature of the self, clarifies matters of agency, and attends to the retrospective nature of the construction of the self. To illustrate these points, the author offers a number of his own “myths of self,” as well as references to self-constructed narratives in the Bhagavadgita and in other literary and cultural accounts.","PeriodicalId":394501,"journal":{"name":"Hearing Vocation Differently","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115333027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chapter includes a description of the author’s own encounter with difference, which made for a significant change in her own vocational journey.
