Augé: Using stories to transcend lectures

Augé never wanted to become a teacher. “I was too rebellious a student,” he says. But studying in California changed his idea of what a teacher’s job can be. He says he now loves his job and the idea of a university as well as the variety of students he encounters.

A prolific author of books and essays, he wants “to bring university to a more general audience” through his writing.
