In this installment, Ben Klutsey talks with Dr. Ilana Redstone, Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and founder of Diverse Perspectives Consulting. We dig into the epistemic question of how we know what we know and the usefulness of respecting viewpoint diversity by focusing on Dr. Redstone’s new course, Bigots and Snowflakes: Living in a World Where Everyone Else is Wrong, and her forthcoming book, Unassailable Ideas: How Unwritten Rules and Social Media Shape Discourse in American Higher Education.
The audio, as well as the transcript of this conversation between Klutsey and Redstone, has been slightly edited for clarity.
