Here’s my comment!
“It seems that “academy bashing,” to use a phrase coined by Michael Berubé in his 1995 book Higher Education Under Fire, has not not only been a “major U.S. industry” since the 1990s. Considering the goals and architecture of the Readers’ Thoreau platform, what might this passage have to say about the value of individual reflection versus a conversation about text in a more formal setting; is one more “serious” than the other?”
This stuff is fresh in my head since part of my capstone is summarizing the crisis in the humanities and arguing for their value inside and outside of academia.
