Board of Governors Distinguished Professor for Teaching Award
Teaching for me is matter of working in partnership with students to facilitate access to information and to foster a critical perspective on it, in order to accomplish the aim of liberal education, named by William Scott Green as the "deliberate exposure to the unfamiliar and rigorous examination of the familiar." This century will see incredible changes, possibilities, and stressors, in the face of which the temptation is to be driven by sound bites, horrific or otherwise stimulating images on TV, status, money, or power. Instead, we have to figure out a way to instill in our students an old fashioned love of learning.
