Introducing: Campus Trap - by Ryan Boyd

This summer, historian David Parsons and I will be recording a special series for his (excellent) podcast Nostalgia Trap. Called “Campus Trap,” it’s based on two rapidly aging coastal-professor dudes living and working through an age of crisis in both American higher education and global society. What do we mean by “higher education,” anyway? What’s happening to / on campus? Are we doomed to see a handful of elite colleges consolidate their status while everyone else suffers austerity? Is there a future for our students? Why even bother to be a professor in the grim 2020s? All these conversations and more!

You’ll have to subscribe to the Nostalgia Trap Patreon for full access—it’s just that good, folks—but here’s a preview.

Enjoy, and tell your friends.
