This past Spring, long-time HDFS professor Steve Wisensale retired after 35 years of teaching at UConn. During his time in HDFS, Wisensale held many important roles, including Acting Dean of the School of Family Studies. During his tenure he received three Fulbright Fellowships, allowing him to teach and study family policy and aging in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Japan. He also received several university-wide teaching awards, including the 1992 Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award and the 2008 Honors Faculty Member of the Year Award. In recent years, Wisensale was perhaps best known to his students for his popular class, Baseball and Society: Politics, Economics, Race, and Gender, that he designed and introduced. This non-traditional course made deep connections between baseball and the broader historical changes that have happened in society. Wisensale’s passion for baseball and teaching was undeniable, leading hundreds of students to apply for a spot in his class each time it was taught. Wisensale left a lasting impression on the HDFS department and UConn as a whole, and his regular presence will be deeply missed.
