Dr. Jill

LA Times article on Dr. Biden's new teaching job


Given my own community college roots, and the fact that I also hope to teach at a community college someday after earning my PhD in education, I was quite happy to see that Jill Biden has found a new teaching position at Northern Virginia Community College.

Other than the incredibly annoying and patronizing comment so typical of Amy Sullivan included in the article, this is actually a nice discussion of Biden's work and the ongoing debate over the use of the term "Dr."---which, by the way, is very standard within academic circles and not at all uncommon (however pompous it might seem in other contexts).
