Description

Assistant Professor Mary Robertson writes to graduate instructor Bob Wren, saying he and others fail to see the civic responsibility and civic action served by teaching literature and culture in E 306. Robertson also comments that papers in E 306 fail to push students towards “humanistic civic awareness.” Robertson argues that technically minded students need humanistic, civic education, whether they realize it or not.
