Abstract
Writing in the Harvard Educational Review, Ndura (2007) posed the following provocative question.”What is the role of institutions of higher education in restoring social justice for disenfranchised populations and creating a culture of non-violence and peace” (p. 347)? In fact, Harkavy (2006) found the mission statements of most universities in the United States commonly include language articulating the goals of preparing students for service to society and responsible citizenship in ways that promote social justice. For example, part of the mission of the University of Tennessee is to promote “the values and institutions of democracy that prepare students to lead lives of personal integrity and civic responsibility in a global society.”
