Today on episode number 548 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast, Holding Class While Holding Our Breath, with Betsy Berry. Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential. Welcome to this episode of Teaching in Higher Ed. I'm Bonnie Stahoviak and this is the space where we explore the art and science of being more effective at facilitating learning. We also share ways to improve our productivity approaches so we can have more peace in our lives and be even
more present for our students. I'm thrilled to be welcoming back to the show today Betsy Berry. After receiving her PhD in 2009, Betsy spent five years teaching philosophy and religious studies at Lake Forest College, Marymount, Manhattan College, and Rice University. When Rice launched its Center for Teaching Excellence in 2014, she was appointed a founding assistant director. In 2016, she was promoted to associate director, and in 2018 she began her current position at Wake Forest.
Trained as a comparative ethicist, Betsy's research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of moral philosophy, political philosophy, and the history of religion. Her disciplinary scholarship, which you'll hear a little bit about in the episode, compares Catholic and Muslim arguments about the nature of law within diverse societies, and more recently, she's explored related questions in the philosophy of education. More specifically, she's been thinking about the nature of professorial authority within the context of politically diverse classrooms. which you'll also be hearing about on today's episode. Betsy's the assistant provost and executive director of the Center for the Advancement of Teaching at Wake Forest University.
