Many colleges and universities have begun using the language of
vocation and calling to help undergraduates think about the future
direction of their lives. This language is used in both secular and
religious contexts, but it has deep roots in the Christian
theological tradition. Given the increasingly multi-faith context
of undergraduate life, many have asked whether this terminology can
truly serve as a new vocabulary for higher education. If vocation
is to find a foothold in the contemporary context, it will need to
be re-examined, re-thought, and re-written; in short, higher
education will need to undertake the project of hearing vocation
differently. In this third volume on vocation from editor David S.
Cunningham, the thirteen contributing scholars identify with a wide
variety of religious traditions, including Buddhism, Christianity,
Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism. Some contributors identify
with more than one of these; others would claim none of them. The
authors met on multiple occasions to read common texts, to discuss
agreements and differences, and to respond to one another's
writing; some of these responses are included at the end of each
chapter. Both individually and collectively, these contributors
expand the range of vocational reflection and discernment well
beyond its traditional Christian origins. The authors observe that
all undergraduate students-regardless of their academic field,
religious background, or demographic identity-need to make space
for reflection, to overcome obstacles to discernment, and to
consider the significance of their own narratives, beliefs, and
practices. This, in turn, will require college campuses to
re-imagine their curricular and co-curricular programming in order
to support their students's reflection on issues of meaning,
purpose, and identity.
