#124 - James Lindsay - Social Justice Explained: The Foundations Of Wokeness

James Lindsay is an author & researcher. I've been exposed the words Social Justice Warrior, Wokeness and Post Modernism a lot over the last year, but I don't really have a strong grasp on their origins or where they came from. Thankfully James is the perfect man to explain them to us as he's spent much of his recent career diving head first into the academic literature which underpins these movements. Enjoy. #socialjusticewarrior #woke #postmodernism Extra Stuff: Follow James on Twitter - https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames Buy James' Book - https://amzn.to/2DKeiz5 Check out everything I recommend from books to products and help support the podcast at no extra cost to you by shopping through this link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/modernwisdom - Get in touch. Join the discussion with me and other like minded listeners in the episode comments on the MW YouTube Channel or message me...
