"'Advocacy in the Classroom' contains more than 30 essays that probe the ethics of professors advocating 'a personal or political opinion as a way of engaging students.' Writing from a wide range of perspectives, the contributors debate whether such advocacy is a good thing. They are divided on whether it is inevitable or whether it is avoidable. They disagree about whether it is a part of the teaching mission or a betrayal of it.
