Faculty Fellows Event: Dr. Rod Ferguson Presents on Anti-Intellectualism and its Impact on Classroom Learning

Event Description 

Join Professor Rod Ferguson for an insightful presentation and discussion on the intersection of anti-intellectual movements and civil rights struggles. Dr. Ferguson will highlight how various forms of anti-intellectualism have historically been mobilized to undermine civil rights advancements, stifle critical thought, and maintain systems of oppression. By examining key moments in history, Professor Ferguson will reveal the ways in which intellectualism has been both a target and a tool in the fight for social justice. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the threats posed by these movements and the crucial role of critical thought in protecting civil rights. — Event Details: https://yaleconnect.yale.edu/rsvp?id=2275155
