This paper reflects on the need to develop future leaders in rehabilitation organizations. Since the early beginnings of the rehabilitation profession in the United States, professional organizations have evolved, had great success, but have often run parallel to each other. Despite the numerous instances of professional organizations in rehabilitation counseling coming together for a common purpose, there has been a marked inability to maintain those collaborative efforts over time. Leaders in the future must find ways of recognizing the differences of the organizations and finding ways to see these challenges as potential opportunities that will allow the profession to move forward and grow. Recruiting and grooming creative leaders will be key.

The Conclusion summarizes key points of the book and also discusses prospects for expanded foot voting in the future. Modern technology can make foot voting easier and more effective than ever before. There are many policy measures that could incrementally expand foot-voting opportunities, both domestically, and internationally. In addition, increasing tolerance and cosmopolitanism among younger voters in the United States and Europe suggests that political obstacles to expanded migration rights may diminish over time. At the same time, growing xenophobic nationalism poses a significant threat to foot voting, as does the rise of restrictive zoning and other obstacles to internal migration.

This chapter is a revised version of an article originally written between 2002 and 2003 in consultation with Farah Ali (an alias) and what was then called the Sangtin Samooh, or Sangtin women's collective, of Sitapur District in India. It argues for a postcolonial and transnational feminist praxis that focuses on (a) conceptualizing and implementing collaborative efforts that insist on crossing difficult borders; (b) the sites, strategies, and skills deployed to produce such collaborations; and (c) the specific processes through which such collaborations might find their form, content, and meaning. To ground this discussion, it draws on two collaborative initiatives that the author undertook in Uttar Pradesh—the first with “Farah Ali,” a Muslim woman who shared her life story in the aftermath of 9/11 with an explicit aim of reentering the United States with her daughter; the second with members of the Mahila Samakhya Programme in Sitapur, who were beginning to imagine the future of the organization, Sangtin. The chapter ends with a poem that confronts the limits of critique that academics undertake.

This chapter considers exit polls from a researcher’s perspective, pointing out how it compares in terms of operation and sampling to more conventional pre-election polling and speculating about what future exit polling in the United States might look like. The chapter discusses the practical steps taken today to conduct post-election exit polling in the United States. Taken as a research study in itself, it discusses how exit polling might adapt over time in the context of the explosion in new data sources, lists, and new technologies, and—importantly—accounting for changes in the way Americans go to the polls, which is increasingly not on Election Day at all, but in the days or weeks to it or by mail or absentee ballot.

This paper focuses on gendered mobilities of highly skilled researchers working abroad. It is based on an empirical qualitative study that explored the mobility aspirations of Austrian scientists who were working in the United States at the time they were interviewed. Supported by a case study, the paper demonstrates how a qualitative research strategy including graphic drawings sketched by the interviewed persons can help us gain a better understanding of the gendered importance of social relations for the future mobility aspirations of scientists working abroad.

This paper addresses some of the Muslim community’s concerns regarding its children’s education and reflects upon how education has shaped the position of other communities in American history. It argues that the future of Muslim education will be influenced directly by the present realities and future trends within American education in general, and, more importantly, by the well-calculated and informed short-term and long-term decisions and future plans taken by the Muslim community. The paper identifies some areas in which a wellestablished knowledge base is critical to making decisions, and calls for serious research to be undertaken to furnish this base.
