75. Carol Quillen, Leading a Liberal Arts College

Carol Quillen is my guest on this episode. She’s the

president of Davidson College, my alma mater, and she is also a historian by

training. She received her PhD in history from Princeton University. In 2018,

Princeton awarded her the James Madison Medal, given in recognition of a

distinguished career. She has published essays and talked about the usefulness

of debate and free expression in academia, and has also commented on the limits

of free expression.
