“I’ve been thinking about what a lot of people refer to as the culture wars…for the last thirty years. A few years ago I felt we had reached a tipping point in our colleges and universities and to some degree in the culture and I had to call this out and describe it,” Robert Boyers on why the time is right for his new book, The Tyranny of Virtue: Identity, The Academy, and the Hunt for Political Heresies. Boyers is editor of Salamangundi, professor of English at Skidmore College and director of the New York State Summer Writers Institute. Recorded at Books &amp; Books in Coral Gables, Florida.Host: Mitchell KaplanProducer: Carmen LucasEditor: Lithub Radio Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Tyranny of Virtue with Robert Boyers & When Antidepressants Aren’t Enough with Stuart Eisendrath, MD

Written from the perspective of a liberal intellectual with a long career as a college professor, Robert Boyers’s new book “The Tyranny of Virtue: Identity, the Academy, and the Hunt for Political Heresies” is a precise and nuanced insider’s look at shifts in American culture—most especially in the American academy—that so many people find alarming. This collection of essays is devoted to such subjects as tolerance, identity, privilege, appropriation, diversity and ableism that have turned academic life into a minefield. Join us for a discussion of the modern restraints on academia in this edition of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
