Will you be actively involved in...Congratulations!<br /><br />Will you be actively involved in teaching the Core curriculum?<br /><br />I went through the program almost 55 years ago. Some of the teachers were good, but most didn't have a broad enough cultural background to teach outside their narrow speciality as was necessary for a program in general Western (very Western) culture. I imagine that the program has changed since then. You do seem to have that broad cultural background. <br /><br />Still, if one actively read the reading (and I didn't always do that), one came <br />away with a general idea of the ideas and works of the great thinkers and artists of Western cultural history. Even if one didn't, one still ended up with a vague map of Western culture and so in the future one could return to, say, Spinoza (which I didn't read a word of at the time) because one knew more or less where he was located.s. wallersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448905469871566228noreply@blogger.com
