FreshEd #222 - The Conscience of a Progressive

My guest today is Steve Klees, professor of international education policy and a distinguished scholar teacher at the University of Maryland.

Steve has a new book entitled The Conscience of a Progressive, which draws on his 45 years of work around the world as an economist and international educator. In the book he compares conservative, liberal, and progressive views on a wide range of social issues.

Steve’s critique goes to the heart of neoliberal capitalism, pushing us to confront the intersectional challenges of gender, class, race, ethnicity, LGBTQ rights, and disability.
