In this week's episode, Mike and Elizabeth discuss a recent article on cancel culture. The title of the article, "Blame, then shame," reflects the author's findings that assessment of personal character followed cancellation decisions and demands for apology. Few participants were interested in debating diverse perspectives. We talk about what the study's methods and results might mean to further research on cancel culture, as well as our surprise that the project was published. Kudos to the author and to the journal for starting the process.
