About the Author

Nancy Jay Crumbine is a professor at Dartmouth College, a Unitarian Universalist minister, a writer, actor, and public speaker.

She holds a Ph.D. in philosophy and Masters degrees in philosophy and religion. She has lectured widely under the auspices of the New Hampshire and Vermont Humanities Councils, the National Council for the Aging, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and religious and education conferences, here and abroad. She has received several state and federal grants for research and teaching projects and has published a number of papers and articles.

What interests her most, in addition to children, is “the interdisciplinary moment when the individual knows humility for the first time: in literature, in philosophy, on stage, in the classroom, in public speech and discourse. In search of these moments I write and teach, give public addresses, act in small parts of great plays, and raise children and sheep.”
