Dr. John Worsencroft recently became the director of Louisiana Tech University's School of History and Social Sciences. In this new role, he's learned to get the most out of both his passion for teaching in the classroom and his administrative duties to the School and to the College of Liberal Arts. He spends this episode discussing his educational background, his time in the United States Marine Corps, and his teaching philosophy. He stresses the importance of learning how to learn, and he gives his thoughts on the political nature of history in higher education.
