- Summary:
- Millennials, the generation whose first members were born in 1982, have been characterized as rebelling by improving society. From observations of students in her social justice courses, Fox (U. of Michigan's Residential College) notes their confidence in their ability to change the increasingly complex world, but need for structure and few bonds beyond their digitally-networked social group. Taking the title from P. Freire's thesis that man's highest vocation is to become more fully human, she reflects on how progressive educators should respond to this paradox.
