About this listen

This is the first of a two-part Knowledge Drop about the role that university professors play as genuine mentors and guides for generations of youth, rather than ideologues who force their values on their students. We'll take you behind the magic curtain of the university classroom to show how professors facilitate the dynamic, free exchange of ideas among students. In Part I, we focus on distinguishing between indoctrination, which is a form of brainwashing or coercive control, and authentic schooling, which is a form of collaborative and reciprocal interaction between students and teachers. We stress that university education is exactly where democratic forms of learning flourish most, and should be courageously defended as part of a free society.
