| Long abstract | University teaching is by nature an optimistic profession. To invest in the time and energy for graduate-level training and then go on to work with our own students is to invest in the belief that despite the ills of war, political corruption, social conflict, and natural disasters, there is hope that human beings can overcome the obstacles that we face. This hope springs not just from a vague sense that “everything will be okay” but also from seeing our own liberal arts educations help us solve “real world” problems. |
