Teaching for Apocalypse

“American higher education was already failing the US and its students even before the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of George Floyd. The transformation of college into a corporate university focused on pushing students through to graduate has come at the expense of critical thinking, ethical reflection on social issues, and an ability to sort out truth from fiction. Meg Gorzycki’s Teaching for the Apocalypse passionately tells the unfortunate story of American higher education’s descent into mediocrity and how that travel has contributed to the current knowledge deficit and crisis of leadership in the United States.”
