  • Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy
    The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy Dr. Valerie Scatamburlo-D'Annibale University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada Abstract This article explores how Donald Trump capitalized on the right's decades-long, carefully choreographed and well-financed campaign against political correctness in relation to the broader strategy of 'cultural conservatism.' It provides an historical overview of various iterations of this campaign, discusses the mainstream media's complicity in promulgating conservative talking points about higher education at the height of the 1990s 'culture wars,' examines the reconfigured anti- PC/pro-free speech crusade of recent years, its contemporary currency in the Trump era and the implications for academia and educational policy. Keywords: political correctness, culture wars, free speech, cultural conservatism, critical pedagogy Introduction More than two years after Donald Trump's ascendancy to the White House, post-mortems of the 2016 American election continue to explore the factors that propelled him to office. Some have pointed to the spread of right-wing populism in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis that culminated in Brexit in Europe and Trump's victory (Kagarlitsky, 2017; Tufts & Thomas, 2017) while Fuchs (2018) lays bare the deleterious role of social media in facilitating the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and elsewhere. Other 69 | P a g e The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy explanations refer to deep-rooted misogyny that worked against Hillary Clinton (Wilz, 2016), a backlash against Barack Obama, sedimented racism and the demonization of diversity as a public good (Major, Blodorn and Blascovich, 2016; Shafer, 2017).

  • Uniting Philanthropy in Polarizing Times 2018 Annual Report
    Uniting Philanthropy in Polarizing Times 2018 Annual Report GRANTMAKERS CONCERNED WITH IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES Letter from the President Dear Colleagues: By all measures, 2018 was a tough year for GCIR and for every organization working on immigration. Through a relentless barrage of policy changes and toxic rhetoric, the federal administration continued its campaign against immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers at our borders and in our communities. Its coordinated attack has consisted of three main strategies: 1) dehumanizing and demonizing immigrants through deceitful and destructive narratives; 2) forcing immigrants already here to leave through unilateral policy directives that increased enforcement, detention, and deportation; and 3) preventing would-be asylees, refugees, and immigrants from entering the country through extreme policies, including family separation and detention, drastic reductions in refugee admissions, and a radical overhaul of the public charge rule. Driven by racism, xenophobia, and hate, the administration’s policies have sought to alter the face of our nation, dismantle our historical role as a beacon of hope and land of refuge, and undermine our pluralistic democracy. The administration’s policies have sought GCIR mounted an all-out effort to galvanize philanthropic response. We provided consultation to to alter the face of 75 foundations that deployed more than $15 million to address family separation. We organized our nation, dismantle a campaign, partnering with Northern California Grantmakers, that resulted in 67 philanthropic institutions submitting comments to the proposed public charge rule. We charged ahead to our historical role mobilize California funders to support a fair and accurate 2020 census count. And we strategized as a beacon of hope with funders on refugees and asylum seekers, criminalization of immigrants, and secondary trauma and land of refuge, for service providers.

I’d like to begin by thanking my committee members. Cathy and Peggy taught me valuable lessons not only about my work but about being a thoughtful and compassionate scholar and teacher. Valerie’s reminders to always be as generous as possible when discussing the work of other scholars has kept me sane and stable in this competitive world of academia. Mike helped me, a displaced Texan, to feel at home in Michigan from our first meeting, during which we chatted about both Shakespearean scholarship and Tex Mex. Finally, the most recent addition to my committee is Neeraja Aravamudan, who I consider my most active mentor and supporter. One of the best decisions I made during graduate school was accepting an internship at the Edward Ginsberg Center, where Neeraja became my supervisor. Neeraja and the other Ginsberg staff remind me it’s possible to take my work very seriously without taking myself too seriously.

Both nature and Scripture establish it as truth. Our almighty Maker and heavenly Father has put husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, sisters and brothers together. What He has joined, no one may rend. Only when it alleviates immediate and extreme danger should we entertain removing one from another, and then only until the risk is resolved.

  • The Other Side of Campus Indiana University’S Student Right and the Rise of National Conservatism
    The Other Side of Campus Indiana University’s Student Right and the Rise of National Conservatism JASON S. LANTZER n a brisk spring day in March 1965, an estimated 300 Indiana 0University students assembled in Dunn Meadow, the green oasis beside the Indiana Memorial Union where students often relaxed between classes or met to play games. This day was different, however, as these students gathered not to enjoy the atmosphere, but to speak their minds about the war in Vietnam. They carried signs, chanted slogans, and generally behaved, according to the campus newspaper, the Indiana Daily Student (IDS), in a manner not unlike that of an additional 650 students and locals who had also assembled in the meadow to hear speeches about the civil rights move- ment in the wake of the recent march on Selma, Alabama.‘ This convergence of civil rights and Vietnam demonstrations may sound like a typical episode of 1960s campus activism, but it was not. A good half of the students attending the Vietnam rally marched in support of the United States’ commitment to halting the advance of communism in Southeast Asia. While such a show of support was hardly uncommon, either at IU or at other college campuses nationwide, subsequent studies of 1960s Jason S. Lantzer is a visiting lecturer in history at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. For reading of and assistance with this essay, he extends his thanks to Prof. Nick Cullather, Chad Parker, and the IMH staff. ‘Indiana Daily Student, March 10, 11, 12, 13, 1965; hereafter cited as IDS INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY, 101 (June 2005) 0 2005, Trustees of Indiana University.

Good information nourishes democracy; bad information poisons it. The mission of the Shorenstein Center is to support and protect the information ecosystem. This means promoting access to reliable information through our work with journalists, policymakers, civil society, and scholars, while also slowing the spread of bad information, from hate speech to “fake news” to all kinds of distortion and media manipulation. The public square has always had to contend with liars, propagandists, dividers, and demagogues. But the tools for creating toxic information are more powerful and widely available than ever before, and the effects more dangerous. How our generation responds to threats we did not foresee, fueled by technologies we have not contained, is the central challenge of our age.
