Universities are cutting funding for humanities programs. Admission to doctoral programs is increasingly competitive. The prospect of obtaining a tenure track teaching position is becoming nearly impossible as departments depend on the underpaid labor of adjuncts. On top of all this, the overt corporatization and bureaucratization, and subsequent weakening of standards and politicization, of universities has diminished the former prestige that academia held in the public's eye. What is academia good for? Is it even worth pursuing an academic career anymore? Join cracks in postmodernity for a discussion on the future of higher education featuring K.C. Johnson, Hamilton Craig, Jonah Howell, and Stephen G. Adubato.
Hosted on 9/19 at KGB Bar. Follow cracks in pomo on Substack and IG: https://cracksinpomo.substack.com/https://www.instagram.com/cracksinpomo/
