Many call themselves “futurists” — Bryan actually knows how to do it.
Bryan Alexander is perhaps higher education’s most prominent intellectual provocateur.

Gotta love @BryanAlexander‘s ability to catalyze a conversation without leaning on hyperbole or triggers.

Stony Brook launches a queen sacrifice by cutting humanities and humanists
