About David Pace

About David Pace

David Pace

I am an emeritus professor in the History Department of Indiana University Bloomington, where I have taught since 1971. As the co-director with Joan Middendorf of the Freshman Learning Project, I helped create the Decoding the Disciplines approach to student learning, and I have been working with the scholarship of teaching and learning in its inception. I am dedicated to improving the quality of instruction in higher education as part of the effort to fight back against the inequality of opportunity that plagues our planet. I regularly give talks and workshops around the world on Decoding the Disciplines, the scholarship of teaching and learning, and history teaching. Click here to find out more about me and my work.
