VCU School of Education The next issue of our alumni magazine "The Bridge" is coming soon. Here's a sneak peek of the photoshoot for the cover story.

Noted author Matthew Crawford (seated) visited Dr. Kurt Stemhagen's "Ethics, Issues and Policy" class (EDUS 673) to discuss his book "Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into Work." Crawford took questions from the class and explained the educational implications of his ideas. For anyone who felt hustled off to college..., then to the cubicle, against their own inclinations and natural bents, Crawford's book seeks to restore the honor of the manual trades as a life worth choosing. The book was written up in the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/29/books/ 29book.html?_r=1
