Reading List: The Corporate University

Launched in fall 2023, the Corporate University project seeks to understand how the university as an institution is being transformed, attempting to make sense of current battles while outlining prospects for a salutary collective future.

The articles and essays compiled here were written in response or as follow up to Corporate University conversations presented as part of 3CT’s 2023–24 program. You can also view event videos on our YouTube channel.
