Why not at Harvard or Cambridge? The question continues to arise - for me, especially - with students who are taking my course on "teaching as dialogue." It is an "unusual" course in the context of increasing Power Point lecturings which "tell" more than they attempt to teach. I sense, from some students, that their teacher (me/I) cannot possibly be up to this task, if I am at my University of Minnesota. If I could, really, I'd be someplace else - or in another time - not here, not now. Some of this derives from Nietzsche who didn't get much published till after he was dead: he thought he'd be a "posthumous" author. And he was - and very famous - but not in his lifetime. "Ahead" of my time? A posthumous author? A teacher who might actually be able to "inspire" the future of one's students? Yet, here I am! Up to the task or truly being a teacher? More to the point! Do I truly "trust" myself - honestly, with integrity? Not easy, but certainly challenging. Why not rich? Why not at Harvard or Cambridge?
