We’re taking a few days off, so for the rest of the week, we’re giving you suggestions for your summer reading list, as we repeat some of our favorite author interviews.
Part One: Undermining public education. We speak with Cornell Professor Dr. Noliwe Rooks, the author of “Cutting School – Privatization, Segregation, and the end of Public Education.” It’s “school choice week” and states across the country are dealing with the issue of school voucher programs.This isn’t a new movement, but it is enjoying a renaissance thanks to the current administration. Noliwe Rooks traces the roots back to reconstruction and segregation.
Part Two: Author and Professor Jacques Berlinerblau of Georgetown University on his new book, Campus Confidential: How College Works, or Doesn’t, for Professors, Parents, and Students.” This is a daringly honest field guide to academia.
