Beschreibung:
Gary J. Adler, Jr is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the Pennsylvania State University. His research on culture, civic organizations, and religion has been published in numerous journals, including Social Problems, the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, and Social Science and Medicine. He is the editor of Secularism, Catholicism, and the Future of Public Life (2015) and co-editor of American Parishes: Remaking Local Catholicism (forthcoming).
For social scientists studying transnational civic engagement, activism or religious movements, this book analyzes how empathy, awareness, and motivation are organized through travel and cross-cultural engagement. Educational leaders who promote experiential learning or global citizenship programs can critically reflect on the organizational and cultural challenges of those initiatives.
