Why call it history when you can call it ‘progress studies’? This week, Riley (@raaleh), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice @AliceAvizandum  join writer and PhD student Annie Kelly to discuss Steven Pinker-ized airport books, tech positivity, and Annie’s research into women members of the alt-right. You’ll love it.

Annie’s New York Times article that gets referenced in the piece is available here: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/01/opinion/sunday/tradwives-women-alt-right.html
