Scholars for Peace, Justice and Sustainability

[FAHE office]

· Does your research connect with issues related to peace and
conflict, social or economic justice, or environmental
sustainability? If so, what should concerned scholars and teachers
across all disciplines know about your research?
· How do you describe your professional vocation? How do you
integrate your research and teaching with your spiritual life? How do
you discern whether your teaching or scholarly work is faithful to
God's leading for you?
· What specific teaching goals and strategies does your sense of
vocation inspire? How do you gauge your effectiveness as a teacher
and with your students?
· How, in your writing and speaking, do you act as an agent of
change? What audiences do you address? How do you find opportunities
to try to reach these audiences? How effective do you think that
writing or speaking can be, and in what respects?
· Have you been part of study groups or social change groups concerned
with peace, justice, or sustainability? To what extent have these
groups connected well with high-quality research in obtaining
information? What is the role of academics in helping to guide such
groups? Does this kind of guidance help make groups more effective?
· How can scholars more effectively network to share research findings
and brainstorm strategies for making a difference?
· Does the Internet hold potential for helping concerned scholars find
each other, share ideas, and plan for action?
