In this episode, Camille Lewis, an assistant professor of Communication Studies at Furman University, discusses her latest book, 'Klandamentalism.’ Lewis, who spent 15 years researching the book, uncovers the deep connections between Bob Jones University and white supremacist ideology, including ties to the Ku Klux Klan. The conversation spans Lewis's personal journey through fundamentalist Christianity, her academic career, the challenges she faced at Bob Jones University, and how she has used her research to uncover hidden histories. This episode also goes into broader themes of how high-control groups operate, the intersection of religion and racism, and the importance of autonomy and truth in scholarship.
