Both active learning and inquiry-based teaching and learning fall under the teaching theories of student-centered learning. This Engineering-biased website offers some links and interview links to professors who use student-centered learning in their classes.
I think that this website also helps answer my question of whether or not the spirit of inquiry can be applied to other departments and could be a life-long skill beyond just a writing/reading classroom.
Student-Centered Teaching
(PS: Maybe we should do some more research on particular experts in our fields who teach at Boise State. Do you know of anyone who uses active learning strategies to interview? I'm interviewing Bruce B. on Friday.)

if you type "active learning" into BSU's website search engine, you'll find links to syllabi that promote active learning-- and tom peele's name came up! i know he's on sabbatical and i don't know the email etiquette for that-- but he'd probably be a good resource for active learning and reading. there are other profs and PDFs about active learning as well.
take a look!
