An increasing skepticism toward the value of academic theater, argues Franklin J. Himes, is threatening the dramatic arts' continuation as an independent discipline. The Janus Paradigm presents a gateway through which American academic theater and theater-derived media may enter upon a more socially vital course of training to meet the socio-economic demands of the 21st century. Himes reviews some formative ideologies and trends in the liberal arts and American theater education. He then explains the Janus paradigm, with its framework of six aspects and fourteen expectancies which support a cooperative system of interdisciplinary theory and coordinated practice. Himes applies the model to a sampling of textbooks in theater, film, and performance studies, and he discusses its potential impact on administrative structures, faculty values and attitudes, the production program, and curriculum design.

Catholic colleges and universities have long engaged in conversation about how to fulfill their mission in creative ways across the curriculum. The "sacramental vision" of Catholic higher education posits that God is made manifest in the study of all disciplines. Becoming Beholders is the first book to share pedagogical strategies about how to do that. Twenty faculty--from many religious backgrounds, and in fields such as chemistry, economics, English, history, mathematics, sociology and theology--discuss ways that their teaching nourishes students' ability to find the transcendent in their studies.
