I've been thinking about the fact that most college professors, regardless of field, don't really get any training in teaching. I wonder if college students are aware of that. It's actually really weird when you think about it, given that we all know from the first day of grad school that if we want to go into academia, teaching will be part of the job. And yet, most graduate programs (at least in economics) don't talk much about it.
I am a storyteller, writer, librarian and countrywoman. I have lived in West Virginia over 30 years and have done the things you read about in history books--growing tobacco, making molasses, living without electricity.
