Edit ProfileCareer
Professor Shagan is a Professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley. He is also the Department Chair of the History Department. In 2013 he went on record with University of California Berkeley"s newspaper disagreeing with the results of a Northwestern University study suggesting that adjunct, or non-permanent faculty, are more effective instructors than permanent, tenured or tenure-track faculty, claiming that “(Studies like these) assume a sort of dumbed-down model of the university, where we are glorified high school teachers whose goal is to better teach students rote memorization … that they can parrot back on an examination
The goal is to teach students to think for themselves, and that’s not something adjuncts can necessarily do as well.” Letter from the Director Ethan Shagan Center for British Studies at Berkeley Books Authored by Shagan Bibliography on Amazon.com Weddings.
