The world is being swept by tribal nationalism.

For the right wing, speech has no bounds. On

the left, it is impeded by self-regulation and

censorship. While populism is utilising free

speech for its own nefarious purposes, the

increasing policing of discourse on the left

has resulted in a deeply dispirited following.

These polarisations both limit our thought

and present a challenge to our thinking. We

recognise them and bump against them daily.

Where does this leave us? How should we

work and think in the Arts and Humanities?

How can we think of a radical solution in the

middle, taking elements of one and the other to

produce a centralist compromise?
