Book description
While issues of interpersonal boundaries between faculty and students
is not new, more recent influences such as evolving technology and
current generational differences have created a new set of dilemmas.
How do we set appropriate expectations regarding e-mail response time
in a twenty-four-hour, seven-day-a-week Internet-connected culture?
How do we maintain our authority with a generation that views the
syllabus as negotiable?
Complex questions about power, positionality, connection, distance,
and privacy underlie these decision points. This sourcebook provides
an in-depth look at interpersonal boundaries between faculty and
students, giving consideration to the deeper contextual factors and
power dynamics that inform how we set, adjust, and maintain boundaries
as educators.

education series.
New Directions for Teaching and Learning offers a
