The Purpose of Education with Eliot Grasso
Summary
<p>Imagine the small community setting, thoughtful discussions with peers, and classical curriculum of Classical Conversations®, but at a college level! In this episode of <em>Refining Rhetoric</em>, Robert speaks to Eliot Grasso, vice president and a tutor at Gutenberg College. Gutenberg takes a classical, Christian approach to a four-year higher education while limiting its incoming freshman class to just twenty students. This fosters a family-like community where students learn and live together while exploring and debating big ideas through Gutenberg's Great Books program. Here, Robert and Eliot talk about the importance of a multidisciplinary education, the unique Gutenberg experience, and, surprisingly, what in the world an uilleann pipe is.</p> <p>Show notes: <a href="http://refiningrhetoric.com/eliot-grasso">refiningrhetoric.com/eliot-grasso</a></p>
