Academic
After two years as an Assistant Professor at Clark University, in Worcester, MA, Dr. Bee moved to the University of Washington, where she taught for 7 years, receiving tenure during that time. After leaving the university, she turned to writing books full time. The best known of her books is "The Developing Child", now in its 12th edition. Her own favorite of the several books, however, is "The Journey of Adulthood", which included, for the first time in any such text, a chapter on spiritual development.

Famous quotes containing the word academic:
“An academic dialect is perfected when its terms are hard to understand and refer only to one another.”

“The 1990s, after the reign of terror of academic vandalism, will be a decade of restoration: restoration of meaning, value, beauty, pleasure, and emotion to art and restoration of art to its audience.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
