It's Christmas, so today we're releasing a patrons-only episode for everyone. We won't do this too often, as it would defeat the point of having a Patreon! But in this case, hey, it's Christmas.
Earlham School of Religion is the only Quaker seminary in North America, and it's going through some . . . . upheaval. Two ESR board members (Micah and Adria) discuss the inside baseball aspects, and then the conversation broadens out to the general state of higher ed in 2020, a topic on which, as you might suspect, Professor Zicha has some opinions.
Small liberal arts colleges are closing everywhere. What are we to make of this? What models might work going forward? And what the hell, Earlham College?
