What is the purpose of education? That’s the question at the center of Worth Learning, a new conversation series from Luminary Labs and America Succeeds. Hosts Harrison Diskin, Ph.D., and Michael Crawford, Ph.D., have noticed that we spend a lot of time debating how education should evolve, but too often skip the more fundamental question of why we’re educating in the first place.
In this series introduction, Harrison and Michael share why this question matters and what listeners can expect from Worth Learning: six conversations, with voices from policy, advocacy, philanthropy, and beyond — each exploring education’s purpose from different angles.
Hosts:
Harrison Diskin, Ph.D., is a consultant at Luminary Labs, a strategy and innovation firm that has spent more than a decade helping federal agencies, foundations, and nonprofits design and implement programs at the intersection of work, education, and opportunity.
Michael Crawford, Ph.D., is the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at America Succeeds, a national nonprofit that works at the intersection of education and employment, including through its Pathsmith™ Durable Skills Framework.
