Higher education's most vibrant and contentious issues--common and
specialized learning in the curriculum, conceptions of general and
liberal education, the design of common core sequences, the merits
of classic texts and contemporary research, Western and non-Western
course materials, the place of undergraduate teaching in scholarly
careers--have for decades been debated by the faculty of the
College of the University of Chicago. At the College, they have
become embodied in educational programs of sufficient historical
depth to reveal patterns of intellectual and pedagogical continuity
amidst changing social and institutional circumstances. Social
Science 2 holds the place of honor among these educational
projects. For more than half a century, Soc 2 has been one of the
most influential courses in American undergraduate education. This
unique, year-long course, the oldest and most distinguished of its
kind at any American university, has served as an ongoing
experiment in how the social sciences can be taught and learned in
the general education context. In this collection John MacAloon has
gathered essays by fourteen eminent social scientists--such as
David Riesman, Michael Schudson, and F. Champion Ward--who as
either teachers or students were profoundly shaped by Soc 2. Their
multifarious and selective memories--full of dissonances and
harmonies of recollection, judgment, and voice--create a compelling
biography of a course and a college that have survived tumultous
change through sustained and committed argument. This book will be
of great interest to anyone interested not only in the theory but
the practice of higher education.
