The Soul of Higher Education: Contemplative Pedagogy, Research and
Institutional Life for the Twenty-first Century contributes to an
understanding of the importance and implications of a contemplative
grounding for higher education. It is the fourth in a series
entitled Advances in Workplace Spirituality: Theory, Research and
Application, which is intended to be an authoritative and
comprehensive series in the field. This volume consists of chapters
written by noted scholars from both Eastern and Western traditions
that shed light on the following questions: What is an appropriate
epistemological grounding for contemplative higher education? How
dues the current dominant epistemology in higher education mitigate
against contemplative teaching, learning, and research? What
alternatives can be offered? How can a contemplative culture be
nurtured in the classroom? What difference does that culture make
in teaching and learning? What is the role of individual and
institutional leadership in creating and sustaining this culture?
What is contemplative research? How can the emerging field of
contemplative studies fit into the twenty-first-century university?
What can faculty and students learn from contemplative practices
about how to find peace of mind in a world of higher education
characterized by increasing complexity, financial pressures, and
conflicts? What does a contemplative organizational structure look
like in higher education? How can committees, faculty meetings, and
administrative teams use contemplative practices to work more
effectively together? How can contemplative decision-making
processes be used in higher education? Given hierarchies, turf
wars, and academics' propensity for using argument as a weapon, is
it possible to introduce contemplative practices into
decision-making situations in appropriate ways?

Three short years transformed Romero, archbishop of San Salvador,
from a conservative defender of the status quo into one of the
churchs most outspoken voices of the oppressed. Though silenced by
an assassins bullet, his spirit--and the challenge of his
life--lives on.
