Cover Story
Of all the things accomplished in higher education, none may be as powerful as the business of teaching. At Smith, that rests in the capable hands of some 260 faculty members. Among them are, left to right, Ann Jones, Dick Briggs, Paula Varsano, Marc Steinberg, Steve Williams and Brenda Allen.
 
Cover StoryIt's the second week of the term at Smith College. Marc Steinberg, associate professor of sociology, is spinning about his classroom, a custom-made "(Not So) Hard Theory Café" cap cocked on the side of his head, an ill-fitting lab coat draped over his T-shirt and blue jeans. He's trying to impress upon his sociology students the importance of epistemology as they approach the study of theory. But, you ask, why the lab coat and baseball hat?
