Underwhelmed by Academia (Year in Review) | Jonah Davids & Richard Hanania

On reasons to leave academia, social scientists as storytellers, and CSPI's accomplishments in 2021

Jonah Davids is CSPI’s director of communications. He joins Richard to talk about his essay on leaving academia, how social science is mostly storytelling, and what CSPI accomplished in 2021. They also discuss why reaching out to people is underrated, the recent study on racial discrimination in emailing, reasons to stay in or leave academia, the effectiveness of advertising, why CSPI has been successful so far, and wokeness as stupid vs. evil in the aftermath of the IDW.
