A River Rises in Eden: Exploring the Quotidian Tributaries of the Moral Citizenship of Care." Paul G. Schervish and John J. Havens. Revised version of invited presentation for the thematic session, "Volunteerism, Citizenship, and the New Century," at the Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association, Chicago, Aug. 6-10, 1999.
This paper describes the theoretical foundations, empirical findings, and practical implications of what we call the moral citizenship or moral economy of care. In particular, we present an identification model of care; discuss how it shaped the way we conceptualized, collected, and analyzed the data in our year-long diary study of daily voluntary assistance; and suggest that when civic engagement is properly defined and measured there may in fact be no deterioration in the physical or moral density of associational life as is suggested by many contemporary commentators.

"The Modern Medici: Patterns, Motivations, and Giving Strategies of the Wealthy." Paul G. Schervish. Paper presented on the panel, "The New Philanthropists," at the inaugural forum, "What is 'New' About New Philanthropy," of the University of Southern California Nonprofit Studies Center. Los Angeles, January 20, 2000.
This paper addresses three aspects of the relationship between wealth and philanthropy that can serve as foundations for understanding and influencing what I consider to be a forthcoming golden age of philanthropy: the large and exponential growth in wealth, the motivational array that inclines wealth holders to contribute to charity, and the array of strategies they use in carrying out their philanthropy.
