Based on the work of Joseph Campbell and using excerpts from the journals of such people as Jane Addams, Langston Hughes, Octavio Paz, Samuel Johnson, Mary Kingsley, and Kathleen Norris, Charting a Hero's Journey is a guide to the writing of a journal for college students engaged in study abroad, off-campus study, and/or service-learning. The book may be used as a text for academic courses in fields such as intercultural studies, service-learning, and English literature or composition, and may be adapted for use in freshman or senior seminars that focus on student development and education in the college years.

Based on the premise that an educational system both reflects and shapes a culture, this short book is a guide for students going abroad to study. It leads them step-by-step through an in-depth investigation of the university they attend overseas and higher education in their host country. The study will help them both to be a successful student and to come to a deeper knowledge of their host culture. Topics include the systems, purposes, history, curricula, pedagogy, faculty, evaluation, students and graduates of higher education. Each topic is enlivened with examples from nations and educational systems around the world. The book proposes that study abroad advisors make this study a credit-bearing course for all of their students in their semester or year abroad. Funded by the NAFSA Cooperative Grants Program.

Howard A. Berry

A Festschrift written by colleagues around the world in honor of Howard A. Berry, together with a selection of his speeches and papers. Knowing and Doing is a collection of essays about service-learning -- seven by Howard Berry, and the others by his colleagues from fifteen nations. Readers will discover why Howard Berry was considered a leading thinker in the field, and why service-learning is being adopted and how it is being practiced in nations as diverse as Russia and Ecuador. A sophisticated collection of writings about international education in general and service-learning in particular, Knowing and Doing illuminates the power of service-learning and gives testimony to the conviction of many that this powerful pedagogy will have an enduring and transforming effect on higher education around the world.
