The University of Chicago Press Schooling Selves Autonomy Interdependence and
Book SynopsisBalancing the development of autonomy with that of social interdependence is a crucial aim of education in any society, but nowhere has it been more hotly debated than in Japan, where controversial education reforms over the past twenty years have attempted to reconcile the two goals. In this book, Peter Cave explores these reforms as they have played out at the junior high level, the most intense pressure point in the Japanese system, a time when students prepare for the high school entrance exams that will largely determine their educational trajectories and future livelihoods. Cave examines the implementation of relaxed education reforms that attempted to promote individual autonomy and free thinking in Japanese classrooms. As he shows, however, these policies were eventually transformed by educators and school administrators into curricula and approaches that actually promoted social integration over individuality, an effect opposite to the reforms' intended purpose.

The University of Chicago Press Navigating Conflict
Book SynopsisUrban schools are often associated with violence, chaos, and youth aggression. But is this reputation really the whole picture? In Navigating Conflict, Calvin Morrill and Michael Musheno challenge the violence-centered conventional wisdom of urban youth studies, revealing instead the social ingenuity with which teens informally and peacefully navigate strife-ridden peer trouble. Taking as their focus a multi-ethnic, high-poverty school in the American southwest, the authors complicate our vision of urban youth, along the way revealing the resilience of students in the face of carceral disciplinary tactics. Grounded in sixteen years of ethnographic fieldwork, Navigating Conflict draws on archival and institutional evidence to locate urban schools in more than a century of local, state, and national change. Morrill and Musheno make the case for schools that work, where negative externalities are buffered and policies are adapted to ever-evolving student populations. They argue that these kinds of schools require meaningful, inclusive student organizations for sustaining social trust and collective peer dignity alongside responsive administrative leadership. Further, students must be given the freedom to associate and move among their peers, all while in the vicinity of watchful, but not intrusive adults. Morrill and Musheno make a compelling case for these foundational conditions, arguing that only through them can schools enable a rich climate for learning, achievement, and social advancement.

University of Chicago Press Education and Equality
Book SynopsisAmerican education as we know it todayguaranteed by the state to serve every child in the countryis still less than a hundred years old. It's no wonder we haven't agreed yet as to exactly what role education should play in our society. In these Tanner Lectures, Danielle Allen brings us much closer, examining the ideological impasse between vocational and humanistic approaches that has plagued educational discourse, offering a compelling proposal to finally resolve the dispute. Allen argues that education plays a crucial role in the cultivation of political and social equality and economic fairness, but that we have lost sight of exactly what that role is and should be. Drawing on thinkers such as John Rawls and Hannah Arendt, she sketches out a humanistic baseline that re-links education to equality, showing how doing so can help us reframe policy questions. From there, she turns to civic education, showing that we must reorient education's trajectory toward readying students for live

The University of Chicago Press Mission on the Rhine
Book SynopsisGerman society underwent greater change under the four years of military occupation than it had under Hitler and the Nazis. The issue of reeducation lay at the heart of America's occupation policies. Encompassing denazification, restructuring of the school system, university reform, and cultural exchange, reeducation began as an idealistic (and naive) attempt to democratize Germany by making her over in the American image. For this meticulously researched study, James F. Tent has drawn on a wealth of recently declassified documents and on numerous personal interviews with veterans of the Occupation. He brings to life not only the dilemmas American officials faced in balancing the need for a political purge against the need to rehabilitate a disrupted society but also the paradoxes involved in a democracy's attempt to impose its ideals on another people. His book chronicles the dedicated work of many Americans; it also illuminates America's Occupation experience as a whole.

Columbia University Press Ambitious and Anxious
Book SynopsisYingyi Ma offers a multifaceted analysis of the wave of Chinese students across American higher-education based on research in both Chinese high schools and U.S. institutions. Ma argues that their experiences embody the duality of ambition and anxiety that arises from transformative social changes in China.Trade ReviewFrom the first word to the last, Ambitious and Anxious is eye-opening, provocative, and replete with original details. Yingyi Ma has produced a trove of valuable interviews and survey results that challenge unexamined narratives about Chinese students in America and illustrate their daily lived experience in ways that will shape our understanding for years to come. -- Evan Osnos, author of Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New ChinaThis is an engaging, richly informative, and beautifully written book that reveals many new and important insights about the motivations and experiences of Chinese students who attended college in the United States in the 2010s. Scholars, students, and educators will have much to learn from its nuanced analyses of many different kinds of data, ranging from national-level statistics from China and the United States to responses to an online survey to interviews with prospective students and their educators in China as well as with Chinese students currently attending a variety of different colleges in the United States. -- Vanessa Fong, Amherst CollegeThis highly engaging book illuminates the diverse experiences of Chinese students from various backgrounds in American higher education. Sociologists of education will appreciate the connection of cultural perspectives in the field to a timely topic. Higher education professionals will welcome the thoughtful discussion of concerns expressed by international students from China, along with the closing insights about how to support meaningful connections on campus. -- Emily Hannum, University of PennsylvaniaDespite their increasing presence in American colleges and universities, the experiences of Chinese students have been disappointingly ignored by the scholarly community. Ambitious and Anxious offers a much-needed corrective to this neglect by comprehensively and compassionately depicting the challenges faced by and accomplishments of these students. This impeccably documented and engagingly written book should compel its readers to reassess their assumptions regarding international students and higher education. -- Brian Powell, Indiana UniversityAmbitious and Anxious is a compelling account of international students from China attending American colleges and universities at the turn of the 21st century. Through thoughtful and sensitive analysis of multiple sources of data, Ma reveals the stressful and paradoxical educational experience of Chinese undergraduates as they navigate through simultaneously familiar and strange terrains in China and America. The book contributes significantly to the deeper understanding of complex sociocultural issues related to international education. -- Min Zhou, University of California, Los AngelesThe number of Chinese undergraduates in American universities has grown dramatically over the past two decades, but we know little about them. If you’re interested in how these students make their way in what can often be a chilly American educational and social environment, you should really read this book. -- Syed Ali, Long Island University-BrooklynMa’s book helps document a population particularly affected by the outcomes of discussions that have recently risen to the level of newspaper headlines. * Asian Review of Books *Ma makes some prescriptions such as recommending that more efforts be made to integrate Chinese students into American university social life. * South China Morning Post *With a difficult era looming over the relationship between universities and this population, this book helps to humanize a group that has been so important to American higher education, yet often misunderstood or marginalized. * China Quarterly *Overall, Ambitious and Anxious provides a nuanced view of the experiences of Chinese international students. By highlighting the variation of backgrounds within this group, Ma challenges the homogeneous perspective that many academics and institutions have when considering the challenges and strengths of Chinese students studyingin America. Moreover, she draws attention to the historical and cultural context that explains the experiences of these students. * Contemporary Sociology *The book's findings offer important theoretical and policy implications.

University of Notre Dame Press Teaching Service and Alternative Teacher
Book SynopsisThe Alliance for Catholic Education, referred to most commonly by its acronym ACE, is one of the best known and widely respected programs at the University of Notre Dame. The rock band U2 praised it during a concert at Notre Dame, the President of the United States acknowledged it in a valedictory address, and each year hundreds of students compete for admission. Established in 1994 by Fr. Timothy Scully, C.S.C., and Fr. Sean McGraw, C.S.C., ACE places more than 150 college graduates in over one hundred parochial schools throughout the United States. The overarching purpose of ACE is to improve Catholic schools, especially in underprivileged areas of the U.S., by enabling exceptionally talented students to teach in them. ACE, in turn, offers students two years of meaningful service and a graduate degree from Notre Dame.In Teaching Service and Alternative Teacher Education: Notre Dame's Alliance for Catholic Education, Michael Pressley and his fellow contributors provTrade Review“Teaching Service and Alternative Teacher Education is highly significant to scholars and students in related disciplines. It reports on a program that is likely to be used as a model for similar programs for years to come. This volume will be an important resource for anyone who is interested in alternative teacher education. Readers cannot fail to be impressed by the ACE program—and they will learn a lot about the design and development of quality alternative teacher education.” —Joanna Williams, professor of psychology and education, Teachers College, Columbia University“ACE is an innovative program and has a worthy story to tell. Teaching Service and Alternative Teacher Education makes a solid contribution to the fields of Catholic education and teacher education reform. It will be significant for educators interested in innovative approaches to the design of teacher preparation experiences.” —Jennifer Whitcomb, assistant professor of education, University of Denver“Philanthropists interested in models for strengthening teacher training will find much to benefit them in this book.” —Philanthropist“Pressley effectively describes the history of ACE and the philosophical underpinnings of the program, including emphases on professional education, community, and spirituality. Pressley provides a very good understanding of these philosophical bases.” —Choice

University of Notre Dame Press Edward Sorin
Book SynopsisThis volume offers an account of the life and labours of Edward Sorin, founder of the University of Notre Dame. It describes how he overcame great odds to found and grow one of world's premier Catholic institutions of higher learning.Trade Review“This work will surely stand as Sorin’s definitive biography.” —H-Net“Tracing the astonishing career of this remarkable man has produced not only a definitive biography but a model of how good history should be written. [H]is well crafted, sympathetic narrative is a terrific read.... O’Connell’s magnificent biography, priced reasonably, is a treasure.” —Catholic Library World“This is a great book, extremely well written, about a great man who made an enormous difference.” —Theological Studies“The thirty chapters of this book are thoroughly researched and beautifully crafted with rhapsodic descriptions of the place, complex character development and a fine sense of pacing. It reads like a good novel.” —American Historical Review“Anyone interested in the origins of the University of Notre Dame will cherish this excellent biography of Fr. Edward Sorin. Edward Sorin can be highly recommended. It deserves a place of honor in any well-stocked library.” —Cistercian Studies Quarterly“Complemented by 40 pages of photos and very through index, this biography of Edward Sorin yields endless rewards and insights for dedicated readers.” —St Anthony Messenger“O’Connell’s theme is the tug-of-war between two complex personalities, Sorin the obstinate aristocrat and Moreau the quarrelsome peasant. This approach is instructive because their competition serves as a paradigm for a larger issue in American history: the struggle of European institutions—in this case, a religious congregation—to adapt to the American environment. It is an old story, but one to which an important chapter has been added by this excellent biography.” —The Journal of American History“O’Connell is one of the finest story-tellers of our day, with a craftsman’s handling of the language. This work is a fine tribute to Sorin, to the university which he founded, and to the many fine men and women associated with Holy Cross over the years.” —Catholic Historical Review“This work is well written, blending historical facts with delightful stories and the humor of human foibles.”—Catholic Southwest“With the precision of a calligrapher and the lyrical voice of a librettist, Notre Dame professor emeritus Marvin R. O’Connell has crafted a monumental biography... of Edward Sorin. O’Connell’s biography is a respectful and balanced account of a preeminent nineteenth-century Catholic churchman. The student of higher education will find much of interest here in the anecdotal accounts of Notre Dame’s development under Sorin’s leadership...."—History of Education Quarterly

University of Notre Dame Press The Case for Parental Choice
Book SynopsisThis work makes a richly humanitarian case for parental school choice, seeking to advance social justice and respect the dignity of parentsespecially those on the margins.For decades, arguments in favor of school choice have largely been advanced on the basis of utility or outcome rather than social justice and human dignity. The Case for Parental Choice: God, Family, and Educational Liberty offers a compelling and humanitarian alternative. This volume contains an edited collection of essays by John E. Coons, a visionary legal scholar and ardent supporter of what is perhaps best described as a social justice case for parental school choice. Few have written more prodigiously or prophetically about the need to give parentsparticularly poor parentspower over their children's schooling. Coons has been an advocate of school choice for over sixty years, and indeed remains one of the most articulate proponents of a case for school choice that promotes both low-income Trade Review“Few, if any, scholars possess more insights about parental school choice than John Coons. Beyond the philosophical, legal, and moral concerns surrounding choice, which Coons analyzes cogently, he also draws upon common-sense practicalities to cinch his many compelling arguments.” —Patrick J. Wolf, co-author of The School Choice Journey"Those looking for a better way to resolve differences, to transcend partisan narratives, and to promote a robust and pluralistic school system that engenders greater trust would be wise to consult Coons’s extensive scholarship. The Case for Parental Choice makes an elegant and accessible reintroduction to his work." —City JournalTable of ContentsForeword by the Editors Foreword by Jesse Choper Preface by John E.

University of Notre Dame Press Why Choose the Liberal Arts
Book SynopsisIn a world where the value of a liberal arts education is no longer taken for granted, Mark William Roche lucidly and passionately argues for its essential importance. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience in higher education as a student, faculty member, and administrator, Roche deftly connects the broad theoretical perspective of educators to the practical needs and questions of students and their parents. Roche develops three overlapping arguments for a strong liberal arts education: first, the intrinsic value of learning for its own sake, including exploration of the profound questions that give meaning to life; second, the cultivation of intellectual virtues necessary for success beyond the academy; and third, the formative influence of the liberal arts on character and on the development of a sense of higher purpose and vocation. Together with his exploration of these three valuesintrinsic, practical, and idealisticRoche reflects on ways to integrate them, intTrade Review“A wise and inspiring meditation on the value of an education in the liberal arts, one that is informed by long experience, enriched by mature reflection, and not neglectful of commonsense practicalities. It beckons as a kindly light amid the encircling gloom of so much contemporary commentary on American higher education.” —Francis Oakley, President Emeritus, Williams College“In a resistant country in a resistant age, Mark Roche dares to make the case for education in the liberal arts in terms both broad and deep. He makes forcefully the obligatory case for the practical value of a liberal arts education as a preparation for whatever profession—a case that must continue to be made, especially in these times. But on the basis of wide reading and long experience as a scholar, teacher, and administrator in institutions large and small, he straightforwardly makes the case for the inherent value of study in the liberal arts and for the intimate relationship between that study and what life might actually be about. He foregrounds the truly big questions that are so often avoided in pursuit of the professional by both students and faculty. Unlike so many commentators, he is not a scold. He is a thoughtful advocate for an education in which young and old alike explore together what it means to be a human being and how one might be a better one.” —Don Michael Randel, President, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation“I love this book. Mark Roche lays out a fascinating and accurate case for the liberal arts.” —Donald R. Keough, Former President of The Coca-Cola Company“With grace and passion, Mark Roche makes the compelling case—as timeless as the Greek poets and as timely as tomorrow’s headlines—for studying the liberal arts.” —Mark Shields, Columnist and Commentator, PBS NewsHour“Explaining the value of a liberal arts education to someone who does not have one can be difficult. First, one must explain what liberal arts education means and then explain its value. Roche does an admirable job of explaining both. . . . The book is clearly written, nicely crafted into four thematically organized chapters, well argued in a reasonable and balanced manner, and convincingly supported by a substantial body of research. It will prove valuable reading for anyone concerned with the state of the modern university and the future of the liberal arts.” —Choice“Writing with students, parents, faculty members, and administrators in mind, Roche argues for the importance of a liberal arts education and outlines its three important values: intrinsic, practical, and idealist. He shows how this education is valuable for learning for its own sake, cultivates intellectual virtues necessary for success beyond college, and has a formative influence on character and the development of a sense of higher purpose and vocation.” —Book News Inc.“Can a liberal arts education be defended in a time of economic decline? Mark William Roche thinks so and that’s what he explores in this book. . . . Roche includes personal reflections to illustrate and personalize his points on the enduring value of a liberal arts education.” —Catholic Library World“Why Choose the Liberal Arts? argues for the essential importance of a liberal arts education—beyond the practical value of a degree as the gateway to employment after graduation. . . . The Association of American Colleges and Universities recently named Roche . . . the winner of the 2012 Frederic W. Ness Book Award. . . . given to the book that best illuminates the goals and practices of a contemporary liberal education.” —ND Works“Roche has written a very thoughtful and fair apologia for the liberal arts that speaks to many contemporary challenges. Not only prospective students but current faculty can richly benefit from the author’s extensive administrative and teaching experience. The creative teaching methods he cites as examples throughout the book can serve as valuable models for teachers in almost any field.” —Anglican and Episcopal History“Mark William Roche contends in Why Choose the Liberal Arts? that holistic education, vibrant residential community, and ardent engagement with great questions are the enduring traits of liberal arts learning. . . . The liberal arts indeed have pragmatic benefits, more so now than ever. Roche taps into survey data to show that the very intellectual and practical virtues prized by liberal arts proponents are also esteemed by most employers. . . .” —Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies
