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.

AAU professor Étienne François Augé believes an instructor should be more than just a lecturer in the classroom.

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

In his latest book, L’Illusion Culturelle: Hollywood et la Propaganda: 1990–2000, Augé explores the connection between Hollywood and propaganda for more than 600 pages but reaches no definite conclusion.
