His talk and the ensuing discussion will address the role of public intellectuals in the U.S. today, and will include concrete suggestions to graduate students and faculty interested in publishing public scholarship pieces.
Robin is professor of political science at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center. He is the author of “The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Sarah Palin.” He has written many articles and reviews for mass circulation publications, and has won the Cliopatria Award and the Charm Quark Award for Best Blog Writing in 2011.
