Show Notes

We’re five episodes deep into our look at NetVUE (the Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education) in this season of the Purposeful Work Podcast, and this episode is a treat. In it, we hear from two NetVUE leaders about some incredible resources the network generates and maintains—one focused on producing scholarly resources and the other on connecting like-minded educators and scholars interested in issues related to calling, vocation, and purpose. Dr. Erin VanLaningham is a professor of English at Loras College and Director of NetVUE’s Scholarly Resources Project.  Erin has won teaching awards at Loras College and directed the honors program there; her own research explores the intersection between art and literature, and she is co-editor with Stephanie Johnson of the new book Cultivating Vocation in Literary Studies, published by Edinburgh University Press.  Hannah Schell is the NetVUE’s online community coordinator. She previously served as professor of philosophy and religious studies at Monmouth College in Monmouth, IL, where she won the Hatch Award for Distinguished Scholarship. Hannah is author of the essay “Commitment and Community: The Virtue of Loyalty and Vocational Discernment,” which appeared in the NetVUE volume At this Time and In this Place. These days, she also edits the Vocation Matters blog which you can find at vocationmatters.org.
