About the Lecture
This talk focuses on ideological conformity in academia -- where it comes from, which issues are especially sensitive, and why it can be dangerous to enforce taboos around sensitive issues rather than encouraging different sides to openly debate them. How do academic taboos emerge, how are they sustained, and how do they pervert the university’s core mission? Hosted by Daniel Jacobson.
