In a recent article in The Atlantic, a black socialist academic recounts his misgivings with the woke atmosphere at Bates College, where he spent five years as a tenured professor before resigning in frustration.
His story is equal parts hilarious and enraging. It is also revealing. I review some of the highlights of the piece and discuss the political and cultural dynamics at play.
Does this article reveal that wokeness is in retreat? Just how anti-woke is this guy? Is there a “good left?”
You might be able to guess my answers to these questions, but you should still listen to the episode. And as usual, you must SUBSCRIBE to listen to the whole thing.
