Professors Talk Pedagogy presents discussions with great professors about pedagogy, curriculum, and learning in order to propel the ”virtuous cycle” of teaching. As we frankly and critically investigate our teaching, we open new lines of inquiry, we engage in conversation with colleagues, and we attune to students’ experiences—all of which not only improves our teaching but enriches and motivates ongoing investigation. And so the cycle continues!

Today, our guest is Dr. David Pace. David has dedicated his career to enhancing student engagement in the learning process, beginning his journey as an instructor in the History Department at Indiana University Bloomington in 1971. His teaching has earned him prestigious accolades, including the American Historical Association’s Eugene Asher Distinguished Teaching Award and Indiana University’s Frederic Bachman Lieber Memorial Award for Distinguished Teaching.
David’s contributions extend beyond the classroom. Since the 1990s, he has been a pivotal figure in the scholarship of teaching and learning, serving as a Fellow in the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and as President of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in History for a decade. In 2019, he was honored as a Fellow in the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
David has authored several influential books and numerous articles and book chapters, contributing to esteemed publications worldwide. Alongside Joan Middendorf, he co-directed the Indiana University Freshman Learning Project, pioneering the Decoding the Disciplines approach to enhance college learning. Though officially retired, David continues to teach and offer workshops globally, sharing his expertise in decoding, history teaching, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. We are delighted to have Dr. Pace on the show to discuss the evolution of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, evaluating teaching, and the ethics of teaching.
