Sarah Rowley
Associate Professor of History
DePauw University
“I am dedicated to creating thought-provoking, discussion-fostering classroom communities that insist on academic rigor but not at the cost of exclusion. Open educational resources not only reduce the financial burden for students; they also serve the purpose of higher education: to illuminate the world for the common good. Through assigning no-additional-cost class readings and guiding students in a crowd-sourced digital history project, I am trying to make the process of doing historical research accessible to as many students as possible.”
