Helen Pluckrose

This week's guest is Helen Pluckrose, co-author of the bestselling Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything About Race, Gender and Identity - and Why This Harms Everybody and founder of Counterweight, an organisation which advocates for liberal approaches to social justice. In this episode, Helen discusses her unorthodox route to becoming a public intellectual, why she decided to set up Counterweight and how her thinking has evolved over time. We have a frank and - in places - challenging discussion on our changing attitudes to feminism, critical social justice, and freedom of expression. Hosted on Acast.
