Welcome back to Yeah, I Got a F#%*ing Job With a Liberal Arts Degree, a show that takes a deep look at the humanities and higher education more generally. Join professor of history and humanities Dean Jeff Crane as he interviews a range of guests about the value of the liberal arts and education as a personal and public good. 

Today's guest is Dr. Lynn Pasquerella. Dr. Pasquerella was appointed president of the American Association of Colleges and Universities in 2016 after serving as the eighteenth president of Mount Holyoke College. She has held positions as Provost at the University of Hartford and Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Rhode Island, where she taught for more than two decades. A philosopher whose work has combined teaching and scholarship with local and global engagement, Pasquerella has written extensively on medical ethics, metaphysics, public policy, and the philosophy of law.

We brought Lynn on the show to discuss her Inside Higher Ed article Our Debate Over Higher Ed Has Lost the Plot . and other ideas she has and writing she has completed on the topic of a liberal arts education. This conversation is ever relevant and Lynn's vision of the possibilities of higher education is inspiring to listen to and share.
