"Rehabilitating Citizenship: Lessons from Across the Curriculum" appears in the Fall 2017 issue of the open-source journal that strives to integrate humanistic perspectives into the work of rehabilitation.
Building on work they did in the the volume Citizenship Across the Curriculum (Indiana UP, 2010), Smith and his co-authors argue that "For those who do the holy work of healing others within the medical field, they need not vote, participate in marches, or run for office to be good citizens (although we do think they should, at the very least, vote for candidates who support their interests). They can be good citizens by being good physical therapists, or occupational therapists, or speech/language pathologists, or nurses, or through work in any other related area. The same skills and dispositions that instructors in the professions and the liberal arts and sciences jointly work so hard to help our students learn will, in the end, help to make these practitioners better medical professionals, and better citizens of our planet. Indeed, the work of rehabilitation can play a signature role in the rehabilitation of citizenship and community in this challenging time."
