It's time the university came to you. I’m Ramzi Fawaz, a nerdy English professor with nearly twenty years of teaching experience, and I’m here to reignite your passion for thekinds of ideas, conversations, and perspectives that could change your future. I know firsthand how much the college classroom transforms people’s lives for the better. That's why I think you deserve to learn about everything that makes getting educated so special. Nerd from the Future introduces you to the best insights from the nation’s leading humanities professors. If you never had a chance to go to college, butalways wondered what it might be like. If you think university education is a big waste of time, but still secretly want to know what all those nerds are talking about on campus. Or if you graduated years ago, but miss the electric energy of the classroom . . . then this is the podcast for you.

In our first season we’ll tackle some of the most pressingquestions about higher education today: Is there such a thing as liberal bias on university campuses? Does humanities education even matter anymore? What exactly is DEI and why are people so mad about it? Like any great professor,we’ll try to make sense of all these issues with enthusiasm, playfulness, honesty and lots and lots of nerdiness.

New weekly episodes of Nerd from the Future will be available to listeners starting Monday, September 8, with bitesize supplements on following Wednesdays.
