| Abstract | Seeking to deepen current scholarly engagement with vocational exploration in both theory and practice, "At This Time and In This Place" champions the themes of calling and vocation as key elements of effective undergraduate education. Growing out of a year-long seminar sponsored by the Council of Independent Colleges and its Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE), this book brings together a nationwide group of scholars from a variety of disciplines in order to produce new scholarly writing on this topic. It offers a historical and theoretical account of vocational reflection and discernment and also suggests how these endeavors can be carried out through specific educational practices. Attending both to the current state of higher education and to broader cultural trends, the contributors examine the contours of vocation from historical, theological, and philosophical perspectives. They consider the relationship between vocation and virtue, both of which encourage the cultivation of habits that lead to a life marked by flourishing and fulfillment--for oneself and for others. The authors also discuss how to engage students in actively reflecting on questions of meaning and purpose through classroom conversations, co-curricular activities, programs for community engagement, and attention to a campus' physical features. "At This Time and In This Place" offers a compelling argument for vocational reflection and discernment in undergraduate education and represents a significant contribution to the emerging scholarly literature in this field.

Cunningham); (7) Vocation and Story: Narrating Self and World (Douglas V. Henry); (8) An Itinerary of Hope: Called to a Magnanimous Way of Life (Paul J. Wadell); (9) Seeing with All Three Eyes: The Virtue of Prudence and Undergraduate Education (Thomas Albert Howard); (10) Commitment and Community: The Virtue of Loyalty and Vocational Discernment (Hannah Schell); (11) Rituals, Contests, and Images: Vocational Discernment Beyond the Classroom (Quincy D.
