Assignment:
Proposal for a chapter
The Role of Spirituality in Engaging and Healing Communities
A volume in the new IAP series: Contemporary Perspectives on Spirituality in Education
The results of the 2016 U.S. election and subsequent policies at the federal level have led some to refer to the country as "The Divided States of America." However, segments of society are drawing upon their faith and spirituality to develop strategies to mend social relationships and fragmented communities. The Contemporary Perspectives on Spirituality in Education book series will feature volumes geared towards understanding and exploring the role of spirituality in addressing challenge, conflict, and marginalization, particularly within education in the U.S. and internationally. Scholarly work informed by research and/or practice is welcome.
Topics of interest for the first book in the series, "United We Stand: The Role of Spirituality in Engaging and Healing Communities," include:
• Community engagement
• Social activism in K-20 settings
• Volunteerism in K-20 settings
• Student and/or faculty work in healing communities
• Other topics related to the aforementioned areas
Chapter Proposals:
• The initial proposal may be an abstract detailing the proposed chapter.
• Chapters must be submitted in a Word document using 12 point Times New Roman font.
• Shorter pieces, such as relevant poetry, will also be considered.
• Proposals for future volumes in the book series must include the proposal itself and a sample chapter.
