University Faculty Forum

University Forum XL:  "Teaching Disciplines vs. Teaching Students" will feature keynote speaker Dr. Marshall Gregory, a master scholar and teacher with extensive expertise as a consultant and presenter on a variety of issues in higher education.  Dr. Gregory received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and currently holds a chair -- Ice Professor of English, Liberal Education, and Pedagogy -- at Butler University in Indianapolis.  He served as the national director of the Lilly Endowment's Post-Doctoral Teaching Award Program.  His publications include several books co-authored with Wayne Booth, one of America's most distinguished humanists, as well as nearly 60 articles in the areas of writing/rhetoric, literary criticism, liberal education, and pedagogy.
 
Dr. Gregory's recent article on "Do We Teach Disciplines or Do We Teach Students? What Difference Does It Make?" appeared in the Winter-Spring 2007 issue of the Association of Departments of English ADE Bulletin.  As is consistent with his scholarship, his message is both thought-provoking and inspirational.
