Are We Truly Post-Literate?
from Thinking Out Loud Hosted by Nathan Rittenhouse & Cameron McAllister
From The Atlantic and National Review to Slate, a slew of recent articles argues that reading among young people is becoming increasingly rare. To be sure, humanities professors have been making this argument for a long time, but the tone has shifted to a more practical concern in these new pieces. Students are simply unwilling (or unable) to read for extended periods of time. In this episode, we consider whether we’re truly becoming post-literate.
