The Fall 2005 issue of ReVision: A Journal of Consciousness and Transformation, published by Heldref Publications, is the first installment of a special double issue on revisioning higher education. Matthew Bronson, Ph.D., associate professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology and director of academic assessment at CIIS, is the editor of this issue. He states in his article, Revisioning Higher Education for the Twenty-first Century: “For many, it has become clear that a collective shift in consciousness and a new paradigm for thought and action is essential if life as we know and cherish it is to continue.” His colleagues carry on this theme. Articles include:

• An Emersonian Approach to Higher Education by Robert McDermott, president emeritus and professor of Philosophy and Religion at CIIS
• An Approach to Integral Education: A Case for Spirituality in Higher Education by Joseph Subbiondo, president of CIIS
• The Complete Yoga: The Lineage of Integral Education by Jim Ryan, professor of Asian and Comparative Studies at CIIS
• Toward a Model of Integral Education by Judie Wexler, academic vice president and dean of the faculty at CIIS
• The Practice of Embodied Emergence: Integral Education in a Counseling Psychology Program by Ian Grand, program director and professor of Somatic Psychology at CIIS
• Teaching to Transform and the Dark Side of “Being Professional” by Karen Ann Watson-Gegeo, professor of Language, Literacy, and Culture at the University of California, Davis

ReVision is a peer-reviewed journal that emphasizes the transformative and consciousness-raising dimensions of current thought. The work of so many CIIS scholars in the issue on ReVisioning Higher Education for the Twenty-first Century is a testament to the rising profile of the Institute and our history and leadership in integral education.
