Stephen J. Dubner in conversation with Dean Deborah L. Nelson

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Freakonomics, author Stephen J. Dubner is joined by Deborah Nelson, Dean of the Arts & Humanities Division at the University of Chicago, for a wide-ranging conversation that demonstrates how the signature Freakonomics method is a robust and insightful analysis of the economic value in higher education and the humanities writ large. This dialogue will explore the intellectual and cultural history of Freakonomics, as well as discuss the arts and humanities within the marketplace of higher education, and as the cultural and economic impact of humanistic research and teaching.
