The Challenges and Opportunities for Liberal Arts Education

The Challenges and Opportunities for Liberal Arts Education

Reading is collapsing across all age groups. Fewer parents are reading to their children, fewer children are reading for pleasure, and English teachers are assigning short passages in place of whole books. Vocabularies have shrunk across the board and so have attention spans. Liberal education is at risk. In this episode of 'Civitas Conversations,' Jacob Howland joined host Richard Reinsch to discuss liberal education and the future of higher-ed. ‍

Civitas Conversations features leading scholars, commentators, and thought leaders for in-depth discussions of the latest essays in Civitas Outlook—and the ideas behind them.

A production of the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.
