On April 21, Bemidji State University’s Dr. Mark Christensen, professor of English, will continue the Spring 2022 Honors Council Lecture Series with a reading from his most recent book at 4 p.m. A book signing and retirement celebration will follow.
In November 2021 Christensen published the fourth book of his career, “Reflections on Teaching, A Passion for Learning,” which outlines 47 years in the classroom, 22 of which have been spent at Bemidji State. The honors lecture will feature Christensen reading select passages of the new book which features 23 reflections, two essays, occasional poems and additional information for educators.
“It isn’t even a book about how to teach, as that is far too large an aspiration for me to attempt,” Christensen said in an interview. “It is meant to be a book to be opened to any random page in hopes that the reflection you fall upon is one you can build upon as you develop your own presence in your own life.”bemidji
