Welcome to A Critical Review! My name is Catherine and in this series I'll be focusing on various famous and controversial events pertaining to Oberlin college. This intro provides a brief overview of the topics I will cover in this podcast, some of which include the 2016 Gibsons. vs Oberlin College and Meredith Raimondo lawsuit, the infamous OC alum Orion Krause, union busting, the relationship between liberal colleges and the right wing media, and the general trend of financialization in higher education. Though this podcast is geared towards members of the Oberlin community, a lot of these events have gotten national attention in recent years. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy <3
