4.1 David Hollinger on the Evangelical Republican Impact on Academia (Social Research)

We are kicking off Season 4 of the pod with David Hollinger, who is the Preston Hotchkis Professor of History, emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. His specialties are American intellectual history and American ethnoracial history, and today we’ll talk to him about his new article for Social Research: An International Quarterly, entitled “The Evangelical Capture of the Republican Party and Its Implications for Academia” Dr. Hollinger’s new article is part of a new special issue called “The Embattled University,” a stellar issue which also features contributions from Judith Butler, Lisa Anderson, Albena Azamanova, Ahmed Bawa, Supriya Chaudhuri, Nicholas B. Dirks, Len Gutkin, and Jonathan Veitch. It's a highly recommended issue, especially for those with a stake in the future of higher education.
