James Lindsay, an author and researcher known for his insights into social justice and wokeness, dives deep into the origins and complexities of these movements. He discusses critical theory and its role in analyzing societal power dynamics, revealing how identity politics have evolved. Lindsay also tackles the ongoing culture wars between sciences and humanities and considers the potential future of social justice, highlighting internal conflicts among marginalized groups. His perspectives provide a thought-provoking look at the nuances of today’s political landscape.
I've been exposed the words Social Justice Warrior, Wokeness and Post Modernism a lot over the last year, but I don't really have a strong grasp on their origins or where they came from.
Thankfully James is the perfect man to explain them to us as he's spent much of his recent career diving head first into the academic literature which underpins these movements. Enjoy.
