Brock Read

Brock Read, deputy managing editor at The Chronicle of Higher Education, dives into the contentious topic of intellectual diversity in academia. He explores the origins of this critique from figures like William F. Buckley, examines who's currently advocating for it, and questions whether these efforts are genuine or politically motivated. Survey findings reveal faculty political leanings and potential classroom biases. Brock argues that introducing pop-culture courses could enrich intellectual diversity, bridging gaps across various viewpoints.
