Deadly Professors: A Faculty Development Mystery

by Thomas B. Jones

This light-hearted romp has a serious purpose. The story line raises such issues as the nature of today’s college students, faculty roles and responsibilities, mid-career concerns, the purpose of liberal education, racial diversity, micro-aggression, inclusive teaching, technology and learning, politics and the classroom, active learning, the role of sports in higher education, and academic freedom, to name but a few.

This book will enliven, and ensure, spirited discussion at any orientation, workshop, or faculty development activity.

[Steven Freeman · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is packed with every potential topic in higher education finding mention in some form. Of course the fact that also intermingled within the content are the murders of the most despicable faculty on campus, made this an interesting and enjoyable read. Looking forward to using it in a teaching and learning circle with faculty next semester.
