Nine American Jesuit scholars teaching at universities reflect on their scholarly work, why they engage in it, and how the work they do coheres with their self-understanding as Jesuits. This volume explores the irreducible diversity of their experiences and criticizes the dominant modern synthesis that shaped Jesuit institutions of education.

In Jesuit Postmodern, nine American Jesuit scholars teaching at universities reflect on their scholarly work, why they engage in it, and how the work they do coheres with their self-understanding as Jesuits. In accounts that weave together scholarly lives and personal stories, the contributors to this volume explore the irreducible diversity of their experiences and criticize the dominant modern synthesis that shaped Jesuit institutions of higher education from the 1960s to the 1990s.
