The Best of StudioTulsa in 2011: The College Experience in America Today (and Tomorrow)

By Rich Fisher

Tulsa, OK – On today's installment of The Best of ST, we listen back to an interview from September, when we chatted with the veteran author, critic, and scholar Andrew Delbanco, who is the Director of the Center for American Studies at Columbia University as well as a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books and The New Republic. Delbanco's forthcoming book, due in the Spring of 2012, is called "College: What It Was, Is, and Should Be" --- and his conversation with host Rich Fisher largely concerns what "going to college" has (and hasn't) meant to Americans over the past decades.
