Intelligence Squared | The Identity Trap - Yascha Mounk & Tomiwa Owolade | Intelligence Squared @Intelligence-Squared | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
How did contemporary society’s focus on identity come about? On October 30 renowned political scientist Yascha Mounk comes to Intelligence Squared to warn that while an appreciation for the diverse culture and heritage of minorities is healthy, in the past decade it has transformed into an obsession with group identity in all its forms. Setting out the ideas in his new book The Identity Trap, he will explain the origin of these ideas, how they grew to be so powerful, and argue that their application to areas from education to public policy – while well intentioned – is proving to be deeply counterproductive. And he will set out his own universalist vision for how we can make progress towards genuine equality.
