[Patreon Exclusive]
Regular contributor Catherine Liu is back on to talk about her essay in Damage, issue 2, "Professional Populists in the Culture Wars". We discuss:
What were the original 'culture wars' and how are they different to today?
Was there a need in the 1980s to "disrupt" the humanities?
Is everyone an “academic populist” now?
Why does conservatism now need to wear "populist" clothes?
How should we defend the "canon"?
What is the "Catherine Liu Foundation for Attacking Badness"?
