It’s a rough and scary time to be a college professor. Their research is being scrutinized and their opinions are being surveilled. Curriculum is being monitored and students can secretly record their teachers and share the videos with the world, even if the footage is deceptive or taken out of context. On this episode we explore how philosophers and philosophy professors manage teaching and research in these difficult times.
Elizabeth Anderson is John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy and Women’s & Gender Studies; Professor of Law; Arthur F. Thurnau Professor at the University of Michigan. She is the author of four books, most recently, Hijacked: How Neoliberalism Turned the Work Ethic against Workers and How Workers Can Take It Back, from Cambridge University Press.
Jason D Hill is Professor of Philosophy and Honors Distinguished Faculty at DePaul University. He is the author of five books, most recently Letters to God from a Former Atheist published by Vindicta Publishing.
