On episode #120, Will talks to Dr. Monica Osborne, a writer and former literature, film, and cultural studies professor with expertise in representations of trauma, multi-ethnic narratives, and critical theory. Most recently, she has written a piece in The Jewish Journal titled ‘Why Teachers Can’t Be Activists’ which you can read here: https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/columnist/350953/why-teachers-cant-be-activists/ 

During their conversation, Will and Monica discuss Monica’s motivation for writing the article, the reactions she received thereafter and why she believes she was willing to publicly dive into the controversies surrounding the culture wars. 

They also discuss social justice in the Jewish community and how that might affect both Monica and Will in their current endeavours. Lastly, Monica touches on the things we can do to move forward in an attempt to call out left-wing extremism in the same way we would on the right.
