Wayward Academic: Reflections from the policy trenches (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In 2014, I wrote Browsing through My Candy Store, a memoir of my career attemptingto master the art of public policy. That book, though enjoying modest sales at best,was well received by my colleagues in the academy, by those members of the publicwho stumbled upon this classic, and by so-called book scouts who ferret out literarygems. That pleased me greatly. My intent was to develop a crossover work that mightbridge both the real and the academic worlds. I tried to avoid being so technicalthat the average reader risked being driven into a deep coma while exploring someserious topics. A comatose like demeaner is an unfortunate condition too oftenwitnessed among my university students, especially the undergraduates I taught inearlymorning courses. There are few greater challenges than facing social workstudents who wish to be family therapists but are required to take a policy courseto graduate, a topic that they fear involves way too many numbers.
