Bowdoin
Join The Maine Heritage Policy Center via livestream for an in-depth presentation and discussion about the recent report,What Does Bowdoin Teach? How A Contemporary Liberal arts College Shapes Students.

Dr. Herbert London, Dr. Peter Wood, Dr. KC Johnson, and Dr. Michael Poliakoff will discuss how higher education has transformed from strong intellectual traditions, a core curriculum, and a commitment to Western Civilization, to a new focus on race, class, gender, and the environment.

Watch a recording of the event here: Global Illusions.
