Social Justice Explained: The Foundations Of Wokeness - James Lindsay - #124 Dec 05, 2019

Show notes

James Lindsay is an author & researcher.

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.
