"A central goal of the course is to encourage Harvard students to engage in critical thinking about their own institution and to understand the background political, social and market pressures that influence their college experience."
"We can't defend knowledge while turning our backs on those who have been excluded from producing it. Some institutions find ways to advance their missions, even in hostile environments; others surrender before the first shot is fired."
Claudine Gay will return to teaching at Harvard, leading a course titled What Is a University? Purpose and Politics in Higher Education. The course will explore the history of U.S. higher education and current issues such as curriculum and governance. A key objective is to foster critical thinking among students regarding their institution and the external pressures affecting their education. Gay will also teach two additional courses in government next spring. She emphasizes the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in knowledge institutions.
