Are Some Cultures Better Than Others? with Amy Wax

Join us for Objectively Speaking with Amy Wax on Wednesday, February 11 @ 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. Are some cultures better than others, and can scholars still ask that question openly in today’s universities? Amy Wax has faced the consequences of asking this question firsthand with the University of Pennsylvania’s sustained efforts to silence her. A Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, Wax is known for her work on constitutional law, cultural norms, and social policy, as well as her outspoken defense of free expression in higher education. She joins Atlas Society CEO Jennifer Grossman to explore how ideological conformity, administrative pressure, and reputational intimidation have narrowed the boundaries of acceptable debate in academia, and what this means for the future of open inquiry.
