GSEHD Spring Preview Day 2024

This lecture will delve into a central dilemma the teaching profession faces, which arises from its dual nature: while teaching involves intricate technical aspects, it is uniquely tied to the public in ways that few other professions are. Teaching’s technical demands call for a more insular and tightly aligned profession organized around common methods, tools, and ideas. That is how most professions are organized, and explains why doctors diagnose and treat the vast majority of diseases in the same way, why engineers design buildings according to the same principles, and why dentists treat tooth decay in a consistent fashion. But teachers are not dentists, and the public nature of teaching pulls away from--not towards-- a closed technical community. That is, teaching, more than any other profession, is tied to the values, priorities, and beliefs of the public in ways that exert profound influence on its work. The question we will explore in this lecture, then, is how can teaching be both professional and public at the same time?
