The Rise of Woke | Talk in Washington, DC

Last month in Washington I gave this talk — on how the Woke activist movement developed (in large part) out of two related theory movements, Critical Theory and Postmodernism — at TAS “Galt’s Gulch” event. It was a full-house international event with professionals as well as students from a surprising range of countries: USA, Morocco, Turkey, Georgia, Poland, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Serbia, Argentina, and New Zealand. Highly enjoyable.
