“A highly recommended and rewarding read both for those who are already working as teachers and for those who are training to do so; and, without a doubt, for the university lecturers and professors who are entrusted with their academic and professional training.”

“David T. Hansen’s The Call to Teach is a modern educational classic. Coming from eight different nations, the contributors to De Marzio’s exquisitely edited David Hansen and the Call to Teach bring the passion, poetry, and piety found in the original text to a new generation of readers in a global context. The call to teach is truly universal.”

“David Hansen and The Call to Teach, edited by Darryl De Marzio, is a remarkable homage to a brilliant career by this esteemed philosopher, erudite scholar, and reflective pedagogue. The varied responses illuminate Hansen’s rumination on the everyday dimensions of a teaching life, and are deep, evocative, and compelling. They move easily from the immediate to the transcendent, from the quotidian to the profound. Read it, you will be better for it.”
—William Gaudelli, dean and professor, Lehigh University
“I fell back in love with David Hansen’s The Call to Teach—as a teacher, philosopher, and teacher educator. The essays Darryl De Marzio has curated offer inspiration and revitalization to those who care deeply about the intellectual, aesthetic, moral, and emotional richness of teaching and who find meaning, joy, and their selves in this work, even in the midst of difficult times.”
—Doris A. Santoro, professor, Bowdoin College
“David Hansen and the Call to Teach serves as a much-needed guidepost to assist teachers and teacher-educators as we question the educational landscape and consider our way forward during these challenging times. The insightful essays in this book offer diverse perspectives on Hansen’s legacy, expand the conversation beyond his original work, and rejuvenate the notion of teaching as a vocation.”
