Joanna Wuest (@joveest), postdoc at Princeton University, joins us this week to discuss her piece "The Sanders Campaign Goes Beyond Intersectionality" in The Nation, and more. The New Left and identity as a framing device. The abandonment of efforts to organize the working class. What is "essentialism" and how does it manifest in different discourses? Science and essentialism. The vindication of Stephen Jay Gould. The proper sequence of the material and the ideological.
