Episode 7: Identity Politics and the Role of Intellectuals
<p>Anti-intellectualism is running rampant: attacks are now coming not only from the far right but even some self-proclaimed representatives of the left. This week we turn our attention to the source of some of these polemics, including provocateurs like Catherine Liu, who criticize academics using the language of identity politics and "wokeness." Cutting past the shallow critiques and the clickbait, we talk about the nature of the "professional managerial class," the real meaning of lived experience, and the urgency of sustaining an intellectual vocation.</p>
