183. Philanthropic Disruptions: Changing Nonprofit Education for an Engaged Society

Author

Weber, Peter C. and Witkowski, gregory R.

Abstract

AbstractThe authors link the development of nonprofit education to the historical transformations of the nonprofit sector. They argue that the professionalization of the nonprofit sector has led to the current emphasis on economic approaches and performance management in nonprofit and philanthropic studies curricula. This trend parallels the marginalization of broader approaches to the field, approaches that are able to capture philanthropy’s historical, ethical/moral, and political functions. The authors propose a series of steps that could help nonprofit educational programs address the challenges of a rapidly changing field and prepare nonprofit leaders for the 21st century. The article aims to start a dialogue on the future of nonprofit education, which ought to prepare future leaders in the field to speak philanthropy’s multiple languages.

193. Ethnic Identity During War: The Case of German American Societies During World War I.

Abstract

Social, economic, and political transformations have traditionally complicated the balance between individual liberties and common good (or national needs). In times of war this balance appears more fragile and—given the role of philanthropy in the formation of identities—philanthropic studies as a field should pay more attention to these dynamics. Accordingly, in this article, the author investigates the impact of World War 1 on the German-American community. Through the historical case study of one German-American voluntary association based in Indianapolis, the author dismisses both ethnic disappearance and ethnic survival theories. In contrast, the author proposes a more nuanced approach to the processes of assimilation of minority groups. The author contends that German-Americans did not lose the battle for survival but for pluralism and suggests that in times of economic as well as social transformations homogenizing forces tend to silence alternative voices in American society.
