“Jonathan Lear, A Case for Irony.” Polite applause.
“Ken Warren, What Was African American Literature?” More polite applause.
“John Boyer, Karl Lueger.” Louder applause. “I love you, Dean Boyer!” shouts a bespectacled young man. “You’re my hero!”

UChicago Careers in Education Professions Launched!
UIEP was launched earlier this week. Dean Boyer, pictured above, gave a talk and the students were left with a lot to ponder over their dinners. UChicago has had a strong commitment to education since the times of John Dewey and UIEP continues this tradition by helping students prepare for careers in teaching, policy, research and administration.
