Senior Scholar as Historian, Gatekeeper, Elder

Nancy Lynne Westfield is Director of the Wabash Center for
Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion. 

In this audio blog, Westfield discusses three possible roles for
senior scholars at an academic institution. There may be more,
but the roles of gatekeeper, historian, and elder are common and
visible and may offer a framework for scholars to think about
their later years at a school.
