This week on the podcast, we’re joined by John Glanton, a weekly columnist here at Social Matter for a discussion on the encroachment of critical theory in academia and the difference between abstract political theorizing and theorizing which takes concrete states of affairs and thedes as a given and proceeds from that starting point.
