商品簡介
The book's few well-chosen illustrations include the stereotypical portrayal of an absent-minded, egghead professor in an early novel for young adults. Another image, linking the personal and professional in a letter between female professors in a same-sex relationship in the 1920s, underscores views of how academia affected female's roles. Stortz (communication and culture, U. of Calgary) and Panayotidis (education, U. of Calgary) introduce 14 essays examining literary and visual images of historical constructions of professors in Canada. Other approaches include the under-examined lives of North American professors as a group once they got to the classroom/lab, and case studies of professors' involvement in Canadian politics, faculty development, and teacher training.
