Education Book Webinar: “Slacking: A Guide to Ivy League Miseducation”
Join authors Adam Kissel, Rachel Alexander Cambre, and Madison Marino Doan for a thought-provoking virtual discussion of their new book, Slacking: A Guide to Ivy League Miseducation.
About the Book:
It is still possible to earn a great education at Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Penn, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, or Dartmouth, but doing so requires prudence and persistence. In Slacking, Adam Kissel, Rachel Alexander Cambre, and Madison Marino Doan dedicate one chapter to each Ivy League college, providing specific information about the coursework that serious students should pursue to extract a real education from these decaying institutions.
Every chapter concludes with two course lists, both of which meet the school’s general education requirements. One displays the worst collection of courses that an inveterate “slacker” could take to skate through the requirements. The other lists the best choice of courses a dedicated striver could take to acquire a well rounded, content-rich liberal education.
The result is both a practical guide for students seeking real intellectual formation and a broader call for curricular reform at America’s leading institutions.
