  • The recognition and recognizability

    A beautiful episode, so timely. I have the privileged task of summarizing Halberstam for a philosophy vlog geared to college students, and was overjoyed to hear Che Gossett as host in this gentle back-and-forth. What a good listener. Somehow not fanboying. Very demure, very mindful.

When Monsters Speak: Part 1 of a conversation with Professor Susan Stryker
Q: How did the book "When Monsters Speak" happen?

When Monsters Speak: Part 1 of a conversation with Professor Susan Stryker
Q: Can you maybe talk about your own itinerary and how you arrived at this profession?
Professor Stryker reflects on her journey of transitioning into trans studies, highlighting her academic background and personal experiences as pivotal in shaping her trajectory.
The Framer's Coup: a Conversation with Professor Michael J. Klarman
Q: How did you come to conclude that Brown v. Board's influence on the Civil Rights Movement was overestimated?
The traditional narrative assigns Brown a major role, but real change came from wartime shifts and societal attitudes that predated the case rather than it being the catalyst for the movement.
The Framer's Coup: a Conversation with Professor Michael J. Klarman
Q: What role does slavery play in the story of the Constitution?
Slavery was significant, but many Northern delegates were not interested in abolishing it during the Convention because they believed it would jeopardize unity and property rights. The focus of the debates was often on political power and representation rather than moral opposition to slavery itself.
