How Do We Learn What We Need To Know?10:18AM / Monday, April 27, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - Daniel Wolff, author of "How Lincoln Learned to Read: Twelve Great Americans and the Educations That Made Them," will give a talk based on his book on Monday, April 27, at 4 p.m. in Bronfman Hall 105 on the Williams College campus.
The talk is free and open to the public.
In his talk, Wolff will offer a fresh and unique perspective in discussing "How do we learn what we need to know?" Based on his book, he will begin with stories from Benjamin Franklin and end with Elvis Presley, tracking the nation's notion of what it means to get a "good education."
His book has been described as "a riveting, original examination of education inside and outside the classroom." School Library Journal said of it, "This provocative book is not only an important addition to the history of education in America, but also a valuable contribution to the history and understanding of the country's ideas and culture."
Wolff 's other works include "4th of July, Asbury Park: History of the Promised Land" picked as an Editor's choice in Book Review and "Born to Run: The Unseen Photos," a collaboration with other authors. He has also written for Vogue and Wooden Boat. He is currently producing a documentary project on New Orleans, titled "Right to Return."
The talk is sponsored by the Program in Teaching and the psychology Department. |
