Bennington president Liz Coleman delivers a call-to-arms for radical reform in higher education. Bucking the trend to push students toward increasingly narrow areas of study, she proposes a truly cross-disciplinary education — one that dynamically combines all areas of study to address the great problems of our day.
I have really enjoyed listening to this TED presentation where Liz has suggested that we need to promote a generalist education. She is calling for Active Citizens to do things that will help change the world for betterment.
What do you think of what she has to day? You have a mind and you have other people, start with those and change the world!
