Alex Morton in conversation with Helen Pluckrose

Liberalism is under siege - from the very people who are meant to defend it. That is the argument of 'Cynical Theories', an extraordinary new book by Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay which exposes the extent to which universities and academic thinking have become dominated, and corrupted, by a radically intolerant strain of postmodernism that views society through a lens of grievance and victimhood.

In this fascinating discussion, Pluckrose talks to Alex Morton, Head of Policy at the Centre for Policy Studies, about how woke thinking conquered campuses - and about turning Mein Kampf into a feminist tract.

Helen Pluckrose is the editor of Areo Magazine and the author of many popular essays on postmodernism, critical theory, liberalism, secularism, and feminism. A participant in the Grievance Studies Affair probe, which highlighted problems in Social Justice scholarship, she is today an exile from the humanities, where she researched late medieval and early modern religious writing by and for women.
