Your Island-Based Galapagos Experience: Royal Palm Hotel

Meet Your Faculty LecturerJohn Brady is the Mary Elizabeth Moses Professor of Geosciences at Smith College. Brady has taught geology at Smith since he arrived in 1975 follow-ing graduate work at Harvard University. He is enthusiastic

about women’s colleges and has one Smith daughter and one Bryn Mawr daughter. Brady has ongoing field projects in Montana and Greece. He is a “hard rock” geologist who tries to develop hands-on, inquiry-based activities for his courses that will help students learn complex concepts. He is taking pedagogical advantage of our electronic world by writing an online textbook about igneous and metamorphic rocks and now knows enough JavaScript to be dan-gerous. Nevertheless, Brady’s favorite place to teach is outdoors. Outcrops across western Massachusetts provide the classroom and con-tent for his first year seminar, “Geology in the Field.” Brady believes that everyone should travel with a geologist if they want to know the underlying story about the places they are visiting.

“Nature … cares NothiNg for appearaNces …”

– Charles Darwin
