    The Globalization of Ethics: Religious and Secular Perspectives.William M. Sullivan & Will Kymlicka (eds.) - 2007 - New York: Cambridge University Press.
    Sullivan and Kymlicka seek to provide an alternative to post-9/11 pessimism about the ability of serious ethical dialogue to resolve disagreements and conflict across national, religious, and cultural differences. It begins by acknowledging the gravity of the problem: on our tightly interconnected planet, entire populations look for moral guidance to a variety of religious and cultural traditions, and these often stiffen, rather than soften, opposing moral perceptions. How, then, to set minimal standards for the treatment of persons while developing moral (...)

    What Is Left of Professionalism after Managed Care?William M. Sullivan - 1999 - Hastings Center Report 29 (2):7-13.
    Modern American medicine has wedded scientific advance to a small business model of the individual practitioner, defining professionalism as technical understanding. If the profession is to survive, it must draw on older ideals of the learned professions as acting on behalf of the community, and reinvigorate a civic understanding of professional life.

    Liberal Learning as a Quest for Purpose.William M. Sullivan - 2016 - Oxford University Press USA.
    In a remarkable experiment lasting over a decade, a group of 88 independent campuses, ranging from comprehensive universities to intimate colleges, have demonstrated the value of an emerging educational agenda focused on infusing the exploration of meaning and purpose into undergraduate life. These programs have shown that college can provide emerging adults with an understanding of themselves and today’s insecure and highly competitive world that enhances their ability to develop the resilience to create meaningful lives. By focusing on the exploration (...)

    The Theological Perspective as Educational Resource.William M. Sullivan - 2016 - In Liberal Learning as a Quest for Purpose. Oxford University Press USA.
    Chapter 7 returns to the opening themes of the book, probing the meaning of the “theological exploration of vocation” for humanistic educational practice. Gordon College’s efforts to educate students in both “Jerusalem” and “Athens” form an illustrative example. The chapter asks how we might understand the PTEV campuses’ ability to use the intellectual resources of Christian theology to self-reflexively draw upon religious symbols in ways that enabled students to probe more deeply and authentically their own questions of meaning and purpose.

    Economic Inequality and Morality: Diverse Ethical Perspectives.Richard Madsen & William M. Sullivan (eds.) - 2019 - Brookings Institution Press.
    _Examining inequality through the lenses of moral traditions_ Rising inequality has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years from scholars and politicians, but the moral dimensions of inequality tend to be ignored. Is inequality morally acceptable? Is it morally permissible to allow practices and systems that contribute to inequality? Is there an ethical obligation to try to alleviate inequality, and if so, who is obligated to take that action? This book addresses these and similar questions not through a (...)

    Conclusion.William M. Sullivan - 2016 - In Liberal Learning as a Quest for Purpose. Oxford University Press USA.
    The Conclusion provides a summary of the argument and its illustrations. The book’s argumentative arc ends with the claim that humanistic liberal education as practiced in the PTEV provides an example of how to build common ground for dialogue and enrichment among religious and secular approaches in higher education toward the end of developing a more effective approach to educating students for the 21st century. The evidence presented by the vocation programs examined in the book supports the conclusion that these (...)

    Grounding Liberal Education.William M. Sullivan - 2016 - In Liberal Learning as a Quest for Purpose. Oxford University Press USA.
    Chapter 2 explores the PTEV’s response to the contemporary misalignment of higher education through the development of a metaphor, drawn from recent research on cognition, of learning as apprenticeship. The chapter divides undergraduate experience into three “apprenticeships.” The first, or academic apprenticeship describes the formal educational program of courses of study, organized by the faculty. The second, or social apprenticeship refers to the co-curricular programs of clubs, organizations, and activities by which, universities and colleges seek to promote the personal and (...)

    Chapter 5 presents three very different examples one of the PTEV’s key strengths: the ability to foster communities of learning around vocational themes. The largely first-generation students at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas, were drawn into deeper engagement with their own quest for purpose and a meaningful future by entering into service among communities of recent immigrants, making personal connections while learning to understand these experiences within a larger historical and religious perspective. At Marquette University (...)

    Introduction.William M. Sullivan - 2016 - In Liberal Learning as a Quest for Purpose. Oxford University Press USA.
    The Introduction begins with a discussion of the misalignment in higher education between the expanded aims of many institutions and the actual organization of their learning. Three key elements of the Lilly Endowment’s Program on the Theological Exploration of Vocation is examined in this context: the theme of vocation and its integration of curricular and co-curricular learning to address the “whole student,” practices of reflection drawn from different religious traditions and their successful adaptation by the vocation programs, and the educative (...)

    Personal Meaning, Public Purpose.William M. Sullivan - 2016 - In Liberal Learning as a Quest for Purpose. Oxford University Press USA.
    Chapter 1 opens with the example of a PTEV course at Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, California, which combines exploration of vocation, reflective practice, and participation in a learning community. This course combines the study of classic texts with new questions about what can be learned about how to live in the present from understanding how individuals in the past achieved successful lives through searching for purpose and meaning. By reanimating classic aspects of liberal education in this way, PTEV (...)

    Chapter 4 further explores the metaphor of calling, this time by considering how Earlham College and Santa Clara University were able to draw on their strong religious traditions to develop practices of reflection that helped students become more active, engaged, and disciplined learners. Earlham College was able to reinvigorate its Quaker heritage, with its unique melding of inner reflection and social action and testimony by infusing these themes broadly in curricular and co-curricular innovation. Santa Clara drew up its Jesuit tradition (...)

The chapter examines programs at Harvard University, Wagner College, and Wake Forest University The chapter then proceeds to examines several efforts to spur similar endeavors by national organizations such as the Bringing Theory to Practice program of the Association of American Colleges and Universities, arguing that these developments take on fuller significance when they are (...)

    The Examined Life.William M. Sullivan - 2016 - In Liberal Learning as a Quest for Purpose. Oxford University Press USA.
    Chapter 3 focuses on the pedagogical implications of the PTEV’s language of “calling.” In contrast to customary language describing students as individually “driven,” the metaphor of calling stresses responsiveness to context and active engagement with community. Such learning focuses on the cultivation of purpose and self-fulfillment as inseparable from the needs of the larger society. The chapter examines PTEV initiatives at Butler University and Macalester College, campuses marked by a secular approach to education. In these cases, themes of personal exploration, (...)

    Can we still stand by words? or: Why rhetoric needs A pragmatic turn. [REVIEW]William M. Sullivan - 1995 - Argumentation 9 (1):59-73.
    Rhetorical theory has developed powerful criticisms of pretentions to objectivity, in the spirit of deconstruction and ideology critique. These critiques contain nihilistic tendencies when they become abstracted from the interactive social contexts upon which they depend for their own significance and efficacy. With a rich analysis of the social bases of communication sustained by its commitment to the project of deliberative democracy, the classic Pragmatism of John Dewey and G. H. Mead can provide an important corrective by orienting rhetorical theory (...)
