Interview with Dr. Candice Rowser

She is the author of Broad Scope: The Benefits of Interdisciplinary Training for Pedagogy in which she shares her experiences as a higher education faculty member in history and political science. With a look into her classroom,  Dr. Rowser wants to share insight with other educators to assist them with ideas for their social studies content. Broad Scope is an exhibition of what an educator with an interdisciplinary education can do featuring fifteen lectures from six college courses. 

In early 2018 Dr. Rowser shifted her love for learning and teaching to another forum - the podcast. In the Facts Before Fiction Record, she includes lectures from her courses also. With this podcast, she can respond to the emerging gaps in learning and share with a wider audience. She provides her listeners with commentary on contemporary issues that they have found equally enlightening as the lectures.  With this platform, she has built on her interest in politics and women’s roles in the government with a focus on African-American women.
