After earning a bachelor of science, he took a three year break from academia, moving between states working odd jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But his lifelong love of words eventually led him to a career at Carleton University and, in 2012, Barrows\u2019 love and passion for both literature and teaching came to fruition. He won the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/awards-and-grants\/internal-awards\/new-faculty-excellence-in-teaching-award\/\">New Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award<\/a>, given to those who underpin Carleton\u2019s commitment to excellence in teaching and innovation, as well as a Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences\u2019 Teaching Achievement Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adam makes sure to learn every single student\u2019s name in his sometimes 70-plus seminars. It\u2019s important, he says, that students know he cares that each person is present. His students\u2019 accolades are often some of the highest in the department, as Adam is lauded as a professor who makes connections with his students, regardless of class size.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38695,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Adam","cu_people_last_name":"Barrows","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[23],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-11379","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-teachingawardwinners-b"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"","cu_people_degree":"","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/11379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/11379\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43965,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/11379\/revisions\/43965"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=11379"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=11379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
