So the global academic buzz over Academically Adrift has prompted us to organize our third ever ISW reading group (following groups on James Lang's On Course and Martha Nussbaum's Not for Profit). Here's our plan:
We'll begin the group the week of February 28. You can anticipate two or three posts per week, in addition to the usual ISW content. Since the book is brief, we're not going to adopt the chapter-based approach we followed with past reading groups. Instead, ISW contributors will offer posts highlighting themes or claims in the book, linking these themes or claims to teaching philosophy. Richard Arum and Josipa Roska, the book's authors, have indicated they may drop by from time to time to offer comments on our discussion.
Becko will kick us off February 28, with Mike, Jason, Chris, Adam, Vance (and others) to follow. I'll wrap things up with my own post on March 17. Hope you'll join us!
