HILLSDALE COLLEGE
About this episode
On this episode, Scot Bertram is joined by Khalil Habib, associate professor of politics at Hillsdale, to discuss the efforts to replace the Electoral College. Allen Guelzo, author/writer and professor at Gettysburg College, talks about the reevaluation of the presidency of Ulysses Grant. Hillsdale's Dwight Lindley returns for his occasional series on basic literary concepts; this week we talk mimesis. And Stephen Shipp, headmaster at Seven Oaks Classical Academy in Indiana, wants us to reconsider the way we think about education.
