The Right to Higher Education: A Q&A with Dr. Christopher Martin

Should a person’s right to education end after high school? Dr. Christopher Martin’s recent book, The Right to Higher Education sets out a novel account of the point and purpose of higher education, something that has been a controversial debate both in public settings and in policy.

"The book asks what post-compulsory/higher education in a free and open society ought to look like. The answer is that access to education should be a basic entitlement of any and all adult citizens over their entire lifespan."
