Ep. 58: The Future of Education, According to History. A conversation with Dr. Flamm.

The future of American education is set. Especially when seen through the lens of history. That doesn't mean we don't have a choice. Because we do. Dr. Flamm explains how.

Over 20 years ago, Dr. Flamm changed the trajectory of Kasey's life. In this episode, Kasey has the opportunity to thank his treasured professor, discuss the history of education, and wrestle with how it can (and should) influence the future of schools and teaching.

Dr. Flamm is a highly respected professor at the University of Ohio Wesleyan. Throughout his tenure, he has "received the Welch Award for Scholarly Achievement (2022) and three teaching prizes including the university’s highest honor, the Bishop Herbert Welch Meritorious Teaching Award (2012)."

He is the author or co-author of five books, including, Debating the Raegan Presidency, In the Heat of the Summer: The New York Riots of 1964 and the War on Crime (Politics and Culture in Modern America), and How 1954 Changed History which is an Audible Original. References:

"Problems will always torment us because all important problems are insoluble: that is why they are important. The good comes from the continuing struggle to try and solve them, not from the vain hope of their solution." - Arthur Schlesinger
