Synopsis
Mentoring Emerging Adults Sharon Daloz Parks has written Big Questions, Worthy Dreams to inform and inspire renewed commitment by educators, church leaders, and others to consider the institutional and cultural patterns that affect emerging adults. It serves to bridge the divide between generations and to encourage more adequate recognition of what is at stake in the response of all who interact with emerging young adult lives. Our economic and political life has become more brittle, volatile, and global, which both enlarges and constrains young adult aspirations. Today's emerging adults are both more connected and more distracted. And religion and faith have become both problematized and polarized. Parks defines faith as meaning-making in its most comprehensive dimensions, whether expressed in secular or religious terms. Over time, our meaning-making orients our sense of purpose, moral stance, and competence. The book describes the potential vulnerability of emerging adults and shows how mentors and mentoring environments can provide access to big-enough questions and inspire dreams worthy of engaging with our challenging and complex world. Parks addresses important issues of the day, including violence in our culture, social media and networking, economic challenges, changing racial identity, cultural shifts, and other forces shaping the narrative of emerging adulthood today., The years of emerging adulthood, the twentysomethigs, are increasingly recognized as a distinctive but puzzling era in the human lifespan. Sharon Daloz Parks, a pioneering voice in young adult development theory, casts the emerging-adult years within the task of making meaning in a dramatically changing world-a task all humans share. This book is written for faculty and administrators in higher and professional education, supervisors in workplace settings, community leaders, parents, and all two who are open to deepening their understanding of emerging-adult lives.
