E8 We Need These Minds: Militarism in Universities

Our last episode looked at weapons companies’ influence campaigns on kids in schools, and even in early childhood.

This influence also reaches deep into our universities.

Education in STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths – should be a public good.

But weapons companies have gone all-out to make sure universities serve their agenda, in research, and in recruitment.

We need to face up to this. And this episode has a great example of doing just that, from the UK.
