Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This research provided understanding of the concept civic-minded professional. A civic-minded professional is one who is(a)skillfully trained through formal education, with (b) the ethical disposition as a social trustee of knowledge, and (c) the capacity to work with others in a democratic way, (d) to achieve public goods. Forty-four items were developed for the Civic-Minded Professional scale based on a multi-disciplinary literature review. The scale was part of an online survey distributed to a national sample of faculty in higher education (n=373)to evaluate the reliability (alpha = .95) and validity of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis reduced the scale to thirty-two item and five factors (i.e., voluntary action, citizenship, social trustee, identity and calling, consensus building).

Este trabalho visa explorar as relações entre duas obras produzidas em língua portuguesa e de algum modo vinculadas à tendência engajada da literatura modernista: Angústia, de Graciliano Ramos, e Voz de prisão, de Manuel Ferreira. Entre os nexos comparativos estão a hipótese de que, nos dois livros, são expostas e exploradas as tensões existentes entre discursos hegemônicos e discurso subterrâneos. Esse embate discursivo cultural, estético, ideológico será pensado como fatura romanesca e também a partir da participação e/ou intermediação da figura do intelectual, a qual, de modos diferentes, tem relevância nas obras em questão. / This work aims to explore the relationships between two works produced in Portuguese and somehow linked to the political engagement tendency of modernist literature: Angústia by Graciliano Ramos, and Voz de prisão by Manuel Ferreira. Between the comparative links is the hypothesis that, in both books, are exposed and explored the existing tensions between hegemonic speeches and \"underground speeches\". This discursive clash - cultural, aesthetic, ideologic - will be thought as romanesque invoice and also through the participation and/or intervention of the figure of the scholar, to which, in different ways, has relevance in the works in question.
