What Should the Aims of Higher Education Be? (Higher Ed)

What should the aims of higher education be? We asked undergrads, grad students, and philosophy professors what they think.

This is the first episode in our series on the ethics of higher education.

Special thanks to UW-Madison philosophy majors Ria Dhingra and Anna Nelson, who collected responses from the 2021 NAAPE Conference (North American Association for Philosophy & Education) and with a few of their friends. And gratitude to everyone they talked to who shared their thoughts.
