How can faculty from so many different areas teach the same course?
Doesn’t this mean that faculty teaching Clare courses are working outside their fields? Faculty who teach in Clare College (often called “Tutors”), are drawn from all areas of the University. The syllabus for each course is developed in common. Participating Tutors organize summer workshops to assist each other in course development and are expected to meet during the semester to assess their progress and share advice about teaching the course. In many cases, the texts for the course are written and edited by your Tutors. However, Clare College is so young and innovative, that many Tutors are teaching their courses for the first or second time. The willingness of your Tutors to prepare themselves to teach in new and different areas expresses our view of life as a continuing intellectual journey.
