Today we continue our mini-series called the FreshEd Questionnaire. I’ve been asking guests a set of standard questions after each interview. These questions focus on some of the hottest topics in education today.
For the next instalment of the FreshEd Questionnaire we focus on the value of enrolling into a PhD program. Is investing years of your life to purse a PhD worth it? While many of our guests find personal fulfilment in doctoral journeys, they're also brutally honest about the structural problems plaguing higher education today: exploitative funding models, unsustainable debt loads, and academic job markets that have fundamentally shifted. We dig into these issues and explore the tension between the intellectual rewards of doctoral study and the harsh economic realities that make the PhD increasingly inaccessible.
Guests include: Rakesh Rajani, Lynn Paine, Laura Chávez-Moreno, Augustina Paglayan, Xavier Dumay, Tore Bernt Sorensen, Horward Gardner, Gustavo Fischman, Sara Ruto, Brad Olsen, Tim Jackson, and Katie Anderson-Levitt.

Today we look at immigration in the USA. It’s a hot topic, but there is a lot to learn from history. My guest is Catherine Boland Erkkila who recently published the book Spaces of Immigration: American Ports, Railways and Settlements (University of Pittsburgh Press).
Catherine Boland Erkkila is an architectural historian specializing in American cultural landscapes of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. She previously worked as the managing editor of SAH Archipedia and taught at Rutgers University.
