In this episode of 'The World of Higher Education' podcast, Alex Usher speaks with co-editor Miles Taylor about 'Utopian Universities: A Global History of the New Campuses of the 1960s.' They delve into the distinctive characteristics of universities founded during this period, the vision behind their creation, and why these institutions often ended up very different from their founders' original plans. They also discuss the lasting legacy of these 'utopian' campuses and the role of architecture and interdisciplinarity in shaping their identities.
