"The Pastoral Professor" (TRH Audio Edition)

With: Katherine Jo

In this edition TRH’s editor, Dan Hummel, talks to Katherine Jo about our March essay, “The Pastoral Professor: Leading Students Toward the Good Life in the Countercultural Classroom.”

In the conversation Katherine references two books: Josef Pieper’s Leisure: The Basis of Culture and Michael Oakeshott’s The Voice of Liberal Learning.

Katherine Jo, Ph.D., is the Director of Program Development and Design with The Purpose Project at Duke University, where she develops courses and programs that engage students in the question of what it means to live a good life. As an educator and philosopher of education, she works to translate our highest educational ideals into effective practice. She is the creator of Teaching on Purpose, which prepares doctoral students across disciplines to be educators who help students flourish, and she frequently leads workshops for faculty within and outside of Duke.
