  • Prof James Flynn : In Defense of Free Speech
    Prof James Flynn is a New Zealand intelligence researcher and an Emeritus Professor of Political Studies at the University of Otago. He is famous for his publications about the continued year-after-year increase of IQ scores throughout the world, which is now referred to as the Flynn effect.
    Recently Jim wrote a book defending free speech, a book that was picked up by Emerald Press who then recanted their offer to publish citing concerns about the "subject matter, the work addresses sensitive topics of race, religion, and gender."
    We are very much looking forward to chatting with Jim about freedom of speech, politics, and anything else that may come up in our usual free flowing dialogue.
    See the Quillette article about Jim's situation around his book here: https://quillette.com/2019/09/24/my-book-defending-free-speech-has-been-banned/?fbclid=IwAR1TNFpq1zXQuB09lDUP2ddno2WQ8k0qRZRDP90Rj0A8TmFrh0sdF6L6r2s

    Dick's work is best described as pop in its appropriation of kitsch kiwiana icons and incorporation of them into his often cartoon-like paintings and lithographs.
