In this conversation, recorded this past summer, we are joined by Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson, the Louise Cowan Scholar in Residence at the University of Dallas. We talk about the place of literature in classical education; about Flannery O’Connor and racism; and about art as a contemplative vision of imagining apocalypse in the best sense: as an event of revelation. You can read Dr. Hooten Wilson’s article on O’Connor and race here: https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2020/06/how-flannery-oconnor-fought-racismAnd you can find more of Dr. Hooten Wilson’s writing here: https://jessicahootenwilson.com/
