There is no book exactly like Fifty Years of Interdisciplinary
Teaching in Academe: One Professor's Pedagogical Tips and
Reflections. Very few professors have taught for half a century.
Even fewer have written books on pedagogy from a personal narrative
perspective and in plain English, without a particular cause to
promote or axe to grind. Countless numbers of books have ruminated
on the past, present, and future of higher education, but few
authors have written their books as memoirs meant for both an
academic and general audience. Few actually offer concrete tips
drawn from years of personal experience for classroom teaching,
mentoring, constructing curricula, courses, and programs, working
with colleagues, and creating an interdisciplinary philosophy of
educational theory and practice. Few of these books can be
generalized to a number of helping professions. Teaching and
learning happen in all the human service professions, not just in
the American university. This book is grounded largely in author
Robert J. Nash's experiences, both positive and negative. Nash is
less interested in propounding or expounding and more concerned
with narrating his always-evolving stories of being an
interdisciplinary professor who has experienced both success and
struggle but who has always emerged as inspired and rejuvenated by
his work, and the work of his students, in higher education. This
book is a personal-narrative celebration of all that is and can be
wonderful about the American university, including students,
colleagues, and administrators. Nash concentrates on possibility
rather than on liability but strives always to present an honest
picture of higher education (both its strengths and weaknesses) and
his place in it throughout the decades. The result of Fifty Years
of Interdisciplinary Teaching in Academe is a vote of confidence
for faculty, staff, and students.
