Description

Description

This critique of higher education offers an anthropological perspective on why students struggle with their educational experience. Susan D. Blum's research reveals a mismatch between the goals of universities and the needs of students, leading to frustrating results.

Blum shares her own transformation as she came to understand this issue, along with the insights from her conversations with students. She argues that conventional education often fails to match the diverse forms of learning that help people master meaningful skills and knowledge.

The book challenges our current system of education and proposes a way to bring classroom learning more in line with appropriate forms of engagement. Blum advocates for a "reintegration of learning with life," suggesting ways to improve student outcomes.
