1 VideoDisciplines in an Interdisciplinary Age, or History in the Age of Google Glass "Award-winning Stanford professor of history Jim Campbell argues for the value of disciplinary training in the age of interdisciplinary programs.

Campbell appeared May 8, 2014 as part of the Stanford Center for Teaching and Learning's longest-running lecture series, Award-Winning Teachers on Teaching, which invites faculty winners of Stanford's major teaching awards to deliver a lecture on a teaching topic of their choice." 8/29/2015 Free View in iTunes
