The former head of Politics at Birkbeck, University of London, is lauching a 'war on woke' by founding a 'faculty of common sense' at the 'best' univeristy for freedom of expression.
Professor Eric Kaufmann, 53, is hoping to combat cancel culture at UK universities by creating a centre for Heterodox Social Science at the University of Buckingham.
1/ After 20 years, I am leaving a full University of London professorship for the University of Buckingham. In January, I launch a new low-cost online course open to the public on Woke: the Origins, Dynamics and Implications of an Elite Ideology.
The Professor added: "This can begin to help restore truth, rebalance academia, and help it regain the trust it is losing among many." He added that "the goal is to have a politically balanced intake, to minimize self-censorship" and cited the US on how this aim is "vital."He said that his right-leaning views on national identity and ethnicity, and left-wing ideology on religion, made him unpopular at Birkbeck.The professor said: "I was cancelled by 1,000 cuts.
