The Stratified Air of Higher Education: From the Gilded Age to a Tale of Today
Join Matt Seybold, Elmira College associate professor of American literature and Mark Twain studies
in a conversation about his most recent Season of the American Vandal Podcast, “A Tale of Today”. This season’s topics explore contemporary challenges in education generally and higher education specifically through the lens of Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner’s 1873 novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. The episodes feature myriad interdisciplinary scholars exploring inequality, ownership, curriculum and work, and information in the digital age. The show is urgent, scholarly, and entertaining. So, join us to engage in the writing of tales for tomorrow.
