Many call themselves “futurists” — Bryan actually knows how to do it.
Bryan Alexander is perhaps higher education’s most prominent intellectual provocateur.
–The Chronicle of Higher Education
One of the most creative and perceptive people in higher education today!
Is @BryanAlexander a wizard because he wrote about the possibility of a pandemic in 2018? He says he has a beard like one.
“Hardest working man in edtech!”
Gotta love @BryanAlexander‘s ability to catalyze a conversation without leaning on hyperbole or triggers.
This is so well-structured and thoughtful that it almost made me forget I was terrified while reading it.
When @BryanAlexander is futuring about you, you’d better start futuring yer own dang self!
Your prescience is wild.
[F]uturist and higher-ed guru Bryan Alexander…

Building an American caste system, part 1: rural folk
Sometimes my personal and research worlds collide. Thursday night I was thinking about a good, recent article on the continued suckage of rural broadband and starting to write about it. My readers know that this is a very immediate problem for … Continue reading
Another college readies a queen sacrifice
Another American campus has decided to cut faculty and possibly programs. This time it’s on the west coast, but the queen sacrifice pattern is quite clear. Mills College officially announced it was “restructuring“. That includes a “Financial Stabilization Plan (FSP) that … Continue reading
Has Trump's presidency cut international student interest in the US?
One possible impact the Trump administration might have on higher education is depressing international student applications to American campuses. Trump’s hostility to immigrants from certain nations (Mexico, some Muslim-majority countries, etc.) could recast the US in a negative light for … Continue reading
Explaining the 2016 elections: the generational pivot
One of the essential uses of studying history is the way the past can sometimes shock you into a different awareness of the present, along with adding glimpses of possible futures. We certainly need more awareness when it comes to the … Continue reading
Moving forward in dark times: two inspirations
Where do we go for inspiration and optimism? I’ve been asking myself this over the past half year, especially when I’ve been submerged in dark times. Obviously the Trump election has been a force for depression. 2016 has for many … Continue reading
Towards the future of higher education economics
Yesterday a group of us presented on the future of, well, everything. Brilliant people spoke to the future of the book, of food, and of work. In contrast, I gave a short presentation on the future of higher education economics. … Continue reading
Demographics and the future of education: lessons from a new study
As a futurist I love demographics. Unlike, say, technology, pop culture, or policy, demographics change verrrrrrrry slowly. Once a population is born, it’s easier to trace its outlines and project them forward than it is to extrapolate from nearly any … Continue reading
The American election, the morning after: American Brexit edition
I woke up at 6 am EST to find my fellow Americans had elected Donald Trump pre… presi – presid- … Damn. It’s actually hard to say. Saying or writing “Drumpf” isn’t quite as funny as it once was. I … Continue reading
Dying and death in America: reviewing _Being Mortal_
This is a hard book to review, and not an easy one to read, despite the author’s fluency. Being Mortal is, after all, about inescapable death, and the problems we currently have in grappling with physical decline and personal extinction. … Continue reading
Thinking about the rising generation of traditional-age undergraduates
This month I’ll be presenting on the rising generation of traditional-age undergraduate students, that combination of younger Millennials plus Generation Z/Homeland Generation. It’s a topic I’ve worked on previously, so I wanted to update my approach and materials. My approach is … Continue reading
