Jonathan Zimmerman, The Amateur Hour: A History of College Teaching in America (Johns Hopkins Press, 2020).

The first full-length history of college teaching in the United States from the nineteenth century to the present, this book sheds new light on the ongoing tension between the modern scholarly ideal-scientific, objective, and dispassionate-and the inevitably subjective nature of day-to-day instruction.

Includes a section on the University of California, Santa Cruz.
