020. Critical University Studies with Liz Morrish

020. Critical University Studies with Liz Morrish

In this week's episode I'm joined by Dr. Liz Morrish, a leading critic of the current state of universities. Liz and I discuss the craze for evaluating people based on numbers and the damage it does to the very real people trying to teach, research, and learn in academia. We also discuss academic free speech, the University of Austin Texas's half-baked solutions, the overselling of "STEM" majors as a career path, and Liz's personal journey from critic inside academia to critic outside of it.

You can find more from Liz at her blog, Academic Irregularities, and as an editor at The Post-Pandemic University.

As always, you can find me at www.everydayanarchism.com.
