Richard Avramenko, the new director of the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership (SCETL) at Arizona State University, joins the podcast for a deep dive into the power of classical education and why it’s critical for our future. He breaks down the decades-long grip of Marxist ideology on college campuses, shares his own journey into the wisdom of the classics, and explains why students don’t have to go to Hillsdale or Claremont for a true classical education—they can find it right here at ASU.

Plus, he gives us a crash course on his home country of Canada and unpacks Alexis de Tocqueville’s essential insights on America. Get ready for an enlightening conversation on the battle for the soul of higher education!
