Summary

Our culture is constantly changing – but what factors are pushing this change? Given social movements like cancel culture, social justice, and critical race theory, we seem to be in the midst of a historical turning point. Here to discuss this complex subject from an academic perspective is Eric Kaufmann, a Professor of Politics at Birkbeck College, University of London…

As an expert in national identity, the cultural left, and political demography, Eric is committed to uncovering the truth behind this societal shift. In addition to his work as a Professor, he has also written several books, including Whiteshift: Immigration, Populism and the Future of White Majorities, Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?: Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century, and Changing Places: Mapping the White British Response to Ethnic Change.

Join the conversation now to discover:

  • The intersection of nationalism and anti-nationalist ideals, and how they influence our culture.
  • What cultural socialism is, and the potential backlashes that can come with it. 
  • The role that the media landscape has played in social polarization. 
  • Why cultural values are becoming more determinative.
