Drawing on interviews with Dan Bernstein (psychology, University of Nebraska), Brian Coppola (chemistry, University of Michigan), Sheri Sheppard (mechanical engineering, Stanford University), Randy Bass (American literature, Georgetown University), and colleagues within and outside their institutions and fields, the author looks at the routes these pathfinders have traveled through the scholarship of teaching and learning and at the consequences that this unusual work has had for the advancement of their careers, especially tenure and promotion. In collaboration with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
Mary Taylor Huber is a senior scholar at The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, where she works with the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Leaming (CASTL) and Carnegie's Initiatives in Liberal Education. Trained as a cultural anthropologist, Huber directed the research program on Cultures of Teaching in Higher Education, which gave birth both to Balancing Acts and to her co-edited volume, Disciplinary Styles in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (2002). Huber is a co-author of Scholarship Assessed (1997), the Foundation's follow-on report to Scholarship Reconsidered (Boyer, 1990), to which she also contributed.
