FROM PROUD BOYS TO PLATO: DOMESTIC EXTREMISTS, NOBLE LIES, AND THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Since September 11, 2001, more Americans have been killed domestically by white, right-wing extremists than by Islamist militants. What inspires Americans to take up arms against their fellow Americans? And what can Plato’s Republic teach us about how to try to prevent the further radicalization of White America? Professor Weinberger will challenge us to imagine an aspirational future identity and consider the role of a liberal arts education in building a new nation
Will take place in the:
