Michael chats with Yale-NUS College’s Michael Maniates about the role of higher education in rethinking growth. They talk about the connection between economic growth and post-secondary, and what a genuinely sustainable campus should prioritize. Professor Maniates highlights the importance of a university's adaptive function in a post-growth world and the power of research to advance human prosperity. He also links higher education to degrowth ideas such as reduced working hours, prosumerism, worker-owned businesses, and cooperatives. Lastly, Michael touches on tenure and offers advice on what you can do to have an impact.
