David S. Danaher

In my nine years at UW-Madison, I've created and taught over twenty different courses and am the only professor in my department to actively teach two languages.

I've taught intro to advanced Russian and Czech language, literature, and linguistics for both undergrads and grads. I've taught grad students how to teach.

What am I most proud of? Single-handedly redesigning and growing the Czech progam at UW, the development of a monograph course on Václav Havel, and lecturing in Prague on a Fulbright.

In 2004 I was honored with a distinguished teaching award from the UW Alumni Association.
