Last year, the Institute and the Office of the Vice President for the Loyola Schools opened a call for LS faculty to propose textbooks.
There are currently seven applications from the different departments of the university, and these are now under review by independent scholars who are experts in their fields and have themselves published books or textbooks.
The seven applications range from a textbook for senior high school students to one for graduate students in psychology. Books include those for linear algebra, text mining, group therapy, biology laboratory manuals, applied economics, discerning life’s questions and art appreciation.
After the reviews, the applicants will receive feedback on their proposals and defend them to a textbook committee formed by the Institute.
The Ateneo SALT Institute hopes to release the results by March 2018.
