    Disciplines in an Interdisciplinary Age, or History in the Age of Google Glass

    "Award-winning Stanford professor of history Jim Campbell argues for the value of disciplinary training in the age of interdisciplinary programs. He uses Google Glass as a metaphor for the unique lens such training gives thinkers, the abilities needed to consider questions in the appropriate context. Campbell is introduced by Professor Emeritus Tom Ehrlich. Prof. James T. Campbell appeared May 8, 2014 as part of the Stanford Center for Teaching and Learning's longest-running lecture series, Award-Winning Teachers on Teaching, which invites faculty winners of Stanford's major teaching awards to deliver a lecture on a teaching topic of their choice."
