Campus Trap - Ep 1: Higher Ed in the Age of Ambient Doom (PREVIEW)

Published: June 10, 2022, 4:37 a.m.

b'On the debut episode of Campus Trap, Ryan Boyd joins me to reflect on how much the stereotypical \\u201ccollege experience\\u201d has evolved since our undergraduate days, when a countercultural bacchanalia was still dominant in the popular\\xa0 imagination, if not in practical reality. From the world of keg-stands and bongloads to the sobering realities of 21st century academia, we trace our own paths through graduate school and into a precarious labor market that seems shakier by the minute. How did our collective vision of college transform in the neoliberal era? And now that we\\u2019re professors ourselves, how do we navigate an increasingly dysfunctional society alongside our students?
