Yeah, I Got a F#%*ing Job With a Liberal Arts Degree is a show that takes a deep look at the humanities and higher education more generally. Join Cal Poly Humboldt Dean Jeff Crane as he interviews a range of guests about the value of the liberal arts and education as a personal and public good.
Dr. Asheesh Kapur Siddique is back on the show today! Asheesh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is an historian of early America, early modern Europe, and the British empire whose research and pedagogy explores the role of collecting, managing, and using knowledge to the history of state formation and governance. He received his PhD from Columbia University, his Master’s from the University of Oxford and his Bachelor’s from Princeton University. His work has been featured in many scholarly publications and he has also written for public facing outlets such as The Daily Beast, Inside Higher Ed, and Teen Vogue. Asheesh was first featured on Episode 21 of the show.
This conversation reflects on the widespread college campus protests in the Spring of 2024 and how administrative forces working against the stated purpose of higher education.
