Conservatives and Liberals in the Academy: Two Upcoming Events at CU this Week聽

CWCTP Events

A blog post from the 2016-7 Visiting Scholar in Conservative Thought and Policy, Prof. Francis Beckwith:

This week the Center of Western Civilization, Thought, and Policy (CWCTP) is . The first is a talk by , Professor of Sociology at the University of North Texas. He will be speaking on 鈥淐onservatives in Academia: Is There Bias Against Them?鈥 Professor Yancey is the author of several books on race, religion, and the academy. Among them are ,  (w/ Michael Emerson) Transcending Racial Barriers: Toward a Mutual Obligations Approach (Oxford University Press, 2010), , and .  Professor Yancey鈥檚 talk will be held on September 21, 2016 at 7:15 PM in Eaton Humanities 150. 

The next day CWCTP will be hosting a panel discussion,   Moderated by CWCTP director, Robert Pasnau, the panel will feature Professor Yancey,  (Professor and Chair of Political Science, University of baby直播app, baby直播app Springs) and  (Professor and Chair of Political Science, University of baby直播app, Boulder).  Professor Dunn鈥檚 most recent book, , has been praised by  as 鈥渢he authoritative treatise, integrating all previous work in an accessible and fair-minded way, and adding in empathy - the rarely heard voices of conservative professors. All academics should read this book, as should anyone who wants to improve the scholarship, prestige, and public funding of the academy." The panel will be held on September 22, 2016 at 4:00 PM in the British Studies Room in the Norlin Library.  

I hope that you will join us on Wednesday and Thursday for what I am sure will prove to be the sort of thought-provoking and conversation-starting events that are vital to the life of a university.
