The Daily Sceptic’s new Associate Editor Laurie Wastell invites readers to a lecture he is hosting this Thursday with Professor Nigel Biggar about his book Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning.
A study has found that, with one or two exceptions, individuals in former colonies have a favourable opinion of their former coloniser. This runs counter to the general thrust of 'post-colonial studies'.
The effort to ‘decolonise’ science is misguided, says Dr John Staddon, a former professor at Duke. The reason women and people of colour are under-represented in science has nothing to do with bias or discrimination.
Why have universities departed so much from Cardinal Newman's guiding idea? Professor James Alexander says it's because they have become secularised, instrumentalised, centralised and infected by ideology.
