Becoming Right: How Campuses Shape Young Conservatives with Amy J. Binder

UC San Diego sociologist Amy Binder explains two prevalent conservative styles that she and her co-author Kate Wood found on today’s college campuses. At “Western Public,” students often engaged in a provocative style, looking to poke fun and enrage liberals, whereas at “Eastern Elite,” conservative students embraced a more civil style, leading to friendlier interactions with other students who disagreed with them. The authors argue that these styles emerge from the cultural and organizational features of each campus. Series: "quoteUnquote" [Humanities] [Education] [Show ID: 25590]
