Nationalism Course Podcast

Eric Kaufmann (@epkaufm) is my guest today. He’s a professor of politics at Birkbeck College, University of London, and he was one of the first people to join Heterodox Academy. We’ll be talking about his book Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities. It’s about how the cultural and ethnic transformation of English-speaking nations, especially the United States, that has threatened many citizens who have a white identity. He suggests a number of ways of dealing with this transformation including his preferred solution multivocalism, which he contrasts with multiculturalism.

Amid growing calls for a bailout of the university sector back in July, Education Secretary Gavin Williamson suggested institutions would first have to prove their commitment to free speech. His comments – and the Higher Education Restructuring Regime – signified growing concerns over censorship on campus. What impact does cancel culture have on the scope and quality of research output? Are strongly-held political attitudes are restricting the freedom of those who disagree to research and teach on contested subjects, as a recent Policy Exchange report suggested?

Are we living in a populist moment, or a larger national-populist restructuring of liberal Western democratic order? This session offers a survey of national-populist elements on both sides of the Atlantic in recent years, from the 2016 election of President Trump and the UK’s Brexit debate, to the recent run of elections in Hungary, Poland, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, France, and Austria. How do we properly weigh the influence of racism, concern about self-preservation, and anti-Muslim immigration attitudes among voters, on the one hand, from the effects of increasing de-alignment from existing political parties, shifts in cultural-ethnic demography, perceived economic deprivation, and a growing disconnect from political elites? As these dynamics upend the status quo in Europe and the US, this session invites us to examine the causes and effects directly. Video at: https://faithangle.org/session/national-populism/

From The Origins of Totalitarianism to The Crises in Little Rock Arendt’s thinking on race is controversial and has often led many to quickly dismiss her thoughts on race and antisemitism entirely. The Hannah Arendt Center’s 12th annual conference on “Racism and Antisemitism” will explore these oft shunned concepts in Arendt’s work in the context of our contemporary political moment which is marked by antisemitic and racist violence. Our conference will consider the following questions: • What is Racism? • Is antisemitism a form of racism? • What does anti-racism mean today? • Is it antisemitic to criticize the state of Israel? • Is equality possible in a world where prejudice exists? • How can we respond to racist fantasies?

Riley Institute at Furman University Straight Talk 2019, session 2. Culture Wars: Multiculturalism and the Future of White Identity People who identify strongly with their whiteness can feel threatened by shifting majorities. Should conservatives be able to express a sense of loss without being labeled as racists? How is demographic change transforming Western politics? How should we think about the future of white majorities and the future of minorities? “Majority Ethnicity, the Cultural Left, and the Rise of Populism” Eric Kaufmann, Ph.D., (bio) author of Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities “Identity and Diversity in American Politics” Ashley Jardina, Ph.D., (bio) author of White Identity Politics A Conversation: Identity Politics and Racial Attitudes in the U.S. Moderated by Danielle Vinson, Ph.D. (bio) Khalilah Brown-Dean, Ph.D., (bio) author of forthcoming Identity Politics in the United States Eric Kaufmann Ashley Jardina For more information, visit: https:/

On this episode of the Argument Ninja podcast I talk about the difficulty of judging how much we really understand about the causes of complex social phenomena—even if we do lots of research and self-study. To help make the case I’m continuing my survey of different theories of the causes of the increase in social polarization that we’re currently experiencing. On this episode I look specifically at the work of two social scientists who have written extensively on this topic: Karen Stenner on the “authoritarian” personality type. Her 2005 book The Authoritarian Dynamic can be read as predicting the expansion of right-wing populism that contributed to the rise of Trump and Brexit. Stenner’s work has been influential on Jonathan Haidt’s analysis of polarization. Eric Kauffman on the effects of immigration on polarization in white majority countries. His latest book Whiteshift explores how demographic shifts are driving cultural conflict, and how this will likely play out in the longer run. But before I get

On Thursday 22nd of August the Henry Jackson Society was pleased to welcome Professor Eric Kaufmann, author of Whiteshift and Professor of Politics at Birckbeck College, University of London, to lead a discussion on the UK’s future immigration system in the post-Brexit context. While it is widely understood that immigration concerns fed into the Leave vote, it remains unclear what our immigration system will look like after the UK finally leaves the European Union, and what changes are needed to satisfy those who voted to leave.
