Welcome to the Inside the Liberal blog. 

This is the first in a series of blogposts – I envision at least several dozen more – many of which will relate, in one way or another,  to my just-published book, Inside the Liberal Arts: Critical Thinking and Citizenship (Rowman and Littlefield, 2023). My aim here will be to expand on what’s in the book, not just repeat it – and to do so in bite-size chunks. Once in a while, I may wander off into the mental wilderness, and I hope you’ll follow along.
