Book Group: A Perfect Mess by David Labaree (Hosted Online via Zoom) In-Person
A Perfect Mess: The Unlikely Ascendancy of American Higher Education (2017, U of Chicago P)
The history of higher education and the role of teaching within it is messy -- and the past year made it even messier. If you’ve ever wondered about the evolution of teaching and the professoriate in American higher education, join your colleagues in reading A Perfect Mess. Author David Labaree explores the origins and development of the American university system and traces competing claims about its value over time. We’ll explore where teaching belongs (or should belong!) in this ongoing story and how that story impacts our classes.
