Knowledge and Nostalgia: Why a University Education Should Be Free (Louisa Munch)
What is the point of going to university? In this episode, Amol sits down with the critical theorist, academic and social media influencer Louisa Munch who thinks you shouldn’t have to pay for higher education.
With the graduate premium in decline, she explains why people should go to university to gain knowledge rather than get a job because she believes having an informed society is good for everyone in an era of competing narratives about the past.
She also reflects on why people of her generation feel disillusioned and what can be done to give them some hope for the future.
