Kaethe Schwehn and L. DeAne Lagerquist offer perspectives from
fourteen professors at St. Olaf College on the value of vocation,
showing how a focus on one's calling rather than on success or
credentials paves the way for the civic good sought by defenders of
liberal arts education. The essays in this volume exemplify the
reflective practices at the heart of liberal arts, for faculty and
students alike. Martin E. Marty once said that "The vocation of St.
Olaf is vocation," and the contributors draw on their experiences
teaching in a range of departments-from biology and economics to
history and religion-to reflect on both their calling as professors
and their practices for fostering students' ability to identify
their own vocations. These scholars' varied notions of how vocation
is best understood and cultivated reveal the differing religious
commitments and pedagogical practices present within their college
community. Together they demonstrate how the purposes of their own
lives intersect creatively with the purposes of higher education
and the needs of their students and the world.
