Racism in the Classics?
In this episode of the show, I give my reaction to the Daily’s Sunday podcast episode “He Wants to Save the Classics from Whiteness. Can the Field Survive?”
The episode centers around the critique of Princeton Classics Professor Dan-el Padilla Peralta. I talk about aspects of his critique I agree with, as well as aspects I am skeptical or unsure about.
I also play an audio clip from this interview of philosopher and public intellectual Cornell West and read an excerpt from his recent op-ed in the Washington Post.
