Extract

I am deeply grateful to wai chee dimock for organizing this feature and to the distinguished scholars who have given generously of their time and attention to address the issues raised and solutions offered by The New Education: How to Revolutionize the University to Prepare Students for a World in Flux. No reader of PMLA needs to be reminded that our discipline and our departments are under duress, our majors plummeting just as we are being asked to teach more service courses with higher numbers of students and fewer faculty lines. his is a bleak time in higher education and for our field. Yet it is inspiring to witness the dedication and seriousness of all those fighting for higher education as a public good while also working to ensure that higher education addresses the needs of the public.
