On January 25, Jean Feraca of Wisconsin Public Radio’s Here on Earth: Radio Without Borders presented The Global University. The original show aired at 3 p.m., but you can listen to the rebroadcast here.
Description: The Global University with Ben Wildavsky
“Will your son or daughter be earning a college degree in Singapore or Qatar in the near future? Higher education journalist and researcher Ben Wildavsky contends that the rising mobility of college students, faculty, and even campuses across national borders is to be embraced, not feared. This often ignored effect of globalization, he says, will bring improved education, economic growth, and new opportunities for people around the world.”
