This book discusses the skills and orientation that students might need to become good citizens of the world. It highlights the importance of volunteering, philanthropy, advocacy and social movement.
Professor Enos's teaching, research and work in these areas has been very much influenced by a critical look at charity-focused projects. Each time these projects are completed, her classes have taken a hard look at some of the premises that underlie global development. Her classes have looked at childhood in different cultures and contexts, as well as the failures of international aid. The students who have been involved in these projects have found them transformative. Some students changed their majors; others went on to join the Peace Corps or to pursue careers in the law and other fields. |
