The Gay Affair: Academic Integrity's Death with Dr. Carol Swain | Ep. 134
In this episode of The City of God podcast, Rob Pacienza is joined by Dr. Carol Swain for a raw and candid conversation about her explosive new book, The Gay Affair: Harvard, Plagiarism, and the Death of Academic Integrity. Dr. Swain, a distinguished scholar and former professor at Princeton and Vanderbilt, shares how Harvard’s first Black president, Claudine Gay, rose to power despite a pattern of serial plagiarism, including lifting material from Swain’s own groundbreaking work.
After Gay’s now-infamous congressional testimony on antisemitism and her January 2024 resignation, The Gay Affair pulls back the curtain on how elite institutions protect power over truth. In this interview, Dr. Swain, also a Senior Fellow at the Institute of Faith and Culture, recounts her attempts to hold Harvard accountable, the threats she faced for speaking out, and what this scandal means for the future of higher education.
