Episode 85: Michael Roth, Safe Enough Spaces

This episode is hosted by Cory Clark, and Michael Roth is the guest. Michael is a historian, the president of Wesleyan University, and the author of the book ‘Safe Enough Spaces: A Pragmatist’s Approach to Inclusion, Free Speech, and Political Correctness on College Campuses’. HxA held its first ever book club a few weeks back, and we chose to read Safe Enough Spaces and had a lively discussion about it. Now we have Michael here to discuss the book, and we  include a couple of questions from our book club participants. You can follow Michael on twitter @mroth78. Here is the transcript of the episode.
