Eric Kaufmann: The woke era isn’t over yet

Deskripsi

Eric Kaufmann, professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, examines the state of "wokeness" in Western democracies. He argues that while social momentum has shifted in the U.S., institutional identity politics remains deeply entrenched in Canada. Kaufmann discusses how the Liberal Party “colonized” Canadian identity in the 1960s, why Canadian conservatives are struggling to reclaim patriotic narratives, and the continuing crisis in academia where left-wing dominance stifles viewpoint diversity. He advocates for "ethical populism" over a slash and burn approach, and explains why he is creating a heterodox AI to counter progressive academic bias.The Hub is Canada’s fastest growing independent digital news outlet.
