S6 Ep111: Teaching Toward Slow Hope: Place, Purpose, and the Future of Career Readiness

Douglas Haynes, professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and author of "Teaching Toward Slow Hope: Place-Based Learning in College and Beyond," joins the podcast to discuss how colleges and universities can help students connect their education to purpose, community and belonging. He examines the growing emphasis on career readiness in higher education and explains how place-based and community-based learning, including Northland College's Superior Connections program, can help students build relationships, find meaning and see new possibilities for their futures.
