David Glenn

Senior Writer (former)
The Chronicle of Higher Education

David Glenn joined The Chronicle of Higher Education in 2002. His work explored how faculty members are trained, encouraged, and evaluated as teachers; how college courses and curricula are developed; and the institutional incentives that sometimes discourage faculty members from investing their energy in teaching.

Before arriving at The Chronicle, Glenn was an editor at Dissent magazine and a freelance writer in New York, Milwaukee, and Northern California. His writing has appeared in the Columbia Journalism Review, Lingua Franca, The Nation, and The New York Times Book Review.

Glenn earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Oberlin College.
