Episode notes

A common occurrence at many universities is that they have contentious relationships with their local community.

This is not a recent development. It is something that has existed ever since universities were developed.

The relationship between colleges and local towns was probably at its worst in 1355 when an outbreak of violence occurred at Oxford University.

Learn more about The St. Scholastica Day Riot and its 500-year legacy with the local community on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
