The Origins of the Coddling of the American Mind Discourse in 2015
In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses how a complaint by a student in 2009 would have been dismissed quickly whereas in 2015 it would center solely on how the teaching affected the student's emotional state. The possibility that the Charlie Hebdo shootings in January 2015 may have contributed to the migration of the discussion of free expression into American campuses is also mentioned.
