| Title: | Liberal Education and Citizenship in a Free Society |
|---|---|
| Description: | The liberal arts university has been in decline since well before the virtualization of campus life, increasingly inviting public skepticism about its viability as an institution of personal, civic, and professional growth. New technologies that might have brought people together have instead frustrated the university's capacity to foster thoughtful citizenship among tomorrow's leaders and exacerbated socioeconomic inequalities that are poisoning America's civic culture. With Liberal Education and Citizenship in a Free Society, a collection of 19 original essays, editors Justin Dyer and Constantine Vassiliou present the work of a diverse group of scholars to assess the value of a liberal arts education in the face of market, technological, cultural, and political forces shaping higher learning today. |
