What needs to change in academia?
Big Thinker
Plato is credited with the inception of academia: the body of knowledge, its development and transmission across generations. We asked some of the academics on Big Think what they think about the state of academia today. What do you think? Is it serving its function? Is it as important as ever? How can it be improved?
