SUMMARY:The Certainty Trap: An Education Book Webinar with Ilana Redstone
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, February 5\, Ilana Redstone will join the Martin Center for a webinar on her latest book\, “The Certainty Trap: Why We Need to Question Ourselves More―and How We Can Judge Others Less.” In this work\, Redstone encourages readers to avoid the trap certainty can set – which then often manifests as moral outrage or righteous indignation – and instead focus on respectful disagreement\, not holding others in contempt. \nIlana Redstone is a professor of sociology at the University of Illinois at Urbana– Champaign and co-directs the Mill Institute at the University of Austin. More about her work is available at www.ilanaredstone.com.

SUMMARY:Hate Speech and Academic Freedom: An Education Book Webinar with Cary Nelson
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, November 20th\, the Martin Center welcomes Cary Nelson for a discussion of his latest book\, Hate Speech and Academic Freedom. \nAbout the book: \nCompleted shortly before Hamas carried out its barbaric October massacre\, Hate Speech and Academic Freedom takes up issues that have consequently gained new urgency in the academy worldwide. It is the first book to ask what impact antisemitism has had on the fundamental principles the academy relies on for its identity—academic freedom\, free speech rights\, standards for hiring or firing faculty members and administrators\, and the ethics of academic conduct and debate. \nAntisemitic hatred is spreading at a fever pitch. What steps can counter it? What damage to students is done when departments embrace anti-Zionism? Should faculty members face consequences for promoting antisemitism on social media? Should universities make a new push to adopt the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism? \n \nAbout the author: \nCary Nelson is a Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Illinos at Urbana-Champaign\, where he has taught since 1970. Nelson has authored over 30 books and 300 essays. Nelson served as president of the American Association of University Professors from 2006 to 2012. Nelson received his BA from Antioch College in 1967 and PhD from the University of Rochester in 1970. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:A Critique of Anti-Racism in Rhetoric and Composition: An Education Book Webinar with Erec Smith
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\,  May 7th\, the Martin Center welcomes Erec Smith for a discussion of his book\, A Critique of Anti-Racism in Rhetoric and Composition: The Semblance of Empowerment.  \n  \n \n  \nAbout the book:\nA Critique of Anti-racism in Rhetoric and Composition: The Semblance of Empowerment critiques current antiracist ideology in rhetoric and composition\, arguing that it inadvertently promotes a deficit-model of empowerment for both students and scholars. Erec Smith claims that empowerment theory—which promotes individual\, communal\, and strategic efficacy—is missing from most antiracist initiatives\, which instead often abide by what Smith refers to as a “primacy of identity”: an over-reliance on identity\, particularly a victimized identity\, to establish ethos. \n  \nAbout the author: \nErec Smith is an Associate Professor of Rhetoric at York College of Pennsylvania\, and his primary work focuses on the rhetorics of anti-racist activism\, theory\, and pedagogy. \nHe is the president of the Foundation for Free Black Thought. \nIn addition to A Critique of Anti-Racism in Rhetoric and Composition\, Smith has also published The Lure of Disempowerment: Reclaiming Agency in the Age of CRT (2022).  \nHe tweets here.\n \n

SUMMARY:Recentering Our Universities: A Webinar on the General Education Act
DESCRIPTION:Restoring a common civic education to the center of American public university education through new legislation.\nIn the past 60 years\, American universities abandoned traditional general education requirements that gave students shared knowledge of the history\, ideals\, and institutions of America and Western Civilization\, as well as a proper introduction to science\, mathematics\, and writing composition. Our college graduates all too frequently have learned to hate America from ignorance\, but lack the knowledge they need to succeed in their careers or act as informed citizens. The American public rightly has lost its confidence in higher education and its ability to train tomorrow’s teachers\, physicians\, and leaders. \nThe General Education Act provides a solution. \nThe National Association of Scholars (NAS)\, the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal\, and the Ethics & Public Policy Center (EPPC) have published the new model General Education Act (GEA). The GEA reforms and replaces the failed system of cafeteria-style distribution requirements geared to faculty research specialties\, rather than to the true requisites of liberal education. The Act’s authors—Stanley Kurtz of EPPC\, David Randall of NAS\, and Jenna Robinson of the Martin Center—will discuss why the GEA is necessary\, what it aims to achieve\, and why it is a practical means to achieve its goal. \nJoin the National Association of Scholars on Thursday\, November 16\, at 2 pm ET\, to learn more about the GEA and how it will restore a common civic education to the center of American public university education. \n \nThis event will feature Stanley Kurtz\, Senior Fellow at EPPC; David Randall\, Director of Research at NAS; Jenna Robinson\, President of the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal; and Shannon Watkins\, Research Associate at the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal.

SUMMARY:Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America
DESCRIPTION:“David E. Bernstein’s excellent book—Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America—exposes the full extent of what we all should have known: When governments dispense benefits based on race and ethnicity\, the conflict over which groups should receive those benefits and which individuals qualify as members of those groups will be never-ending.” – Gail Heriot\, Professor of Law\, University of San Diego\, and Member\, U.S. Commission on Civil Rights \n“Perhaps the most consequential American book of 2022.” – George F. Will \nJoin the Martin Center for a webinar with David E. Bernstein\, professor of law at the Antonin Scalia Law School and executive director at the Liberty & Law Center! Professor Bernstein will discuss his latest book\, Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America\, on Thursday\, April 27th\, 2:30-3:30pm ET. \n \n  \n  \nDavid E. Bernstein holds a University Professorship chair at the Antonin Scalia Law School\, George Mason University\, where he has been teaching since 1995. He has also been a visiting professor at the University of Michigan\, Georgetown University\, William & Mary\, Brooklyn Law School\, and the University of Turin. \nBernstein often challenges the conventional wisdom with prodigious research and sharp\, original analysis. His book Rehabilitating Lochner was praised across the political spectrum as “intellectual history in its highest form\,” a “fresh perspective and a cogent analysis\,” “delightful and informative\,” “sharp and iconoclastic\,” “well-written and destined to be influential\,” and “a terrific work of historical revisionism.” \nOf his most recent work\, Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America\, columnist George F. Will said\, “The nation urgently needs what David E. Bernstein here provides: a lucid explanation of the long and tangled intersection of racial classifications and the law. With the intellectual boldness and clarity that he brought to Rehabilitating Lochner\, he points to a path from today’s tensions to a less angry\, more sophisticated future.” \nProfessor Bernstein blogs at the Volokh Conspiracy and at Instapundit.com. Professor Bernstein is a graduate of the Yale Law School\, where he was senior editor of the Yale Law Journal and a John M. Olin Fellow in Law\, Economics\, and Public Policy.
