SUMMARY:Education Book Webinar: Renewing the Marketplace of Ideas on Elite University Campuses
DESCRIPTION:In this free Education Book Webinar\, Duke University Professor Don Taylor will discuss his forthcoming book\, Renewing the Marketplace of Ideas on Elite University Campuses. Webinar attendees will have a chance to be part of the writing process by giving Professor Taylor feedback and asking questions to help him hone his ideas before the book is fully written! \nBook Synopsis: This book will describe how the marketplace of ideas on elite college campuses can be improved using existing resources. In doing so\, it will move beyond only describing problems in how students interact\, debate and express themselves on campus by providing a plausible plan to make things better. The book will focus on the undergraduate student body at elite universities\, the faculty who teach them\, and the importance of the campus marketplace of ideas both to student education (private good) and society as a whole (public good). The book will argue that faculty hired with academic freedom and intellectual flexibility is the only comparative advantage of the modern University over a think tank in the production of knowledge\, and the faculty must reassert intellectual leadership on campus if the marketplace of ideas is to be its most vibrant\, and productive. \n \nAbout the Author: Donald H.
