In this episode of Illuminate Higher Education, N2N Services CEO Kiran Kodithala speaks with Richard Guarasci, principal at Presidential Partners LLC and former president at Wagner College.
The goal for an institution like Wagner College is for their higher education to link work and democracy together in some way. This is a connection that's not always understood in the United States. It means not only helping people develop careers in the service industries, but also adding a civic component to their development.
Colleges have a role in reworking with their local school systems and communities to build that kind of civic competency.
We are currently living in a moment of incredible vulnerability, and this, not only in American democracy, but in democracies around the world. We're seeing the flight from reason and evidence towards more emotional thinking. One of the virtues of college, university, and higher education is that it’s all predicated on open discourse.
Richard believes that the way learning could be restructured is by putting more of the focus on experiential and civic learning — not all of it, but a good deal more of it.
As a result, students would have more agency over their education while gaining a better understanding of the world around them.
