From Minsk To Pinsk: Why A Scholarship of Teaching and Learning?

More than 25 years ago, I was serving as an American Psychological Association visiting scholar to the psychology departments of small liberal arts colleges. I spent two days at a lovely campus in southeastern Indiana, Hanover College. I particularly enjoyed the energy and intelligence of an undergraduate psychology major named Randy Isaacson. A short time later, he was admitted to the doctoral program in educational psychology at Michigan State University, where I had been teaching since 1963. When Randy completed his PhD at Michigan State, he returned to Indiana as a member of the faculty at Indiana University, South Bend.
