Going to College in the Sixties


Listen Later

Going to College in the Sixties examines the multifaceted transformations within American higher education during a turbulent decade. The author explores shifts in student life, academic curricula, college sports, and the expanding influence of what is termed the "Knowledge Industry," which encompassed federal funding, standardized testing, and institutional planning. The text analyzes the increasing competition for college admissions, the rise of student activism, and the emergence of new pedagogical approaches and experimental colleges. Furthermore, it considers the evolving relationship between universities and external entities like the government and the media, ultimately reflecting on the lasting impact of the 1960s on the landscape of American colleges and universities.
