Join us for a presentation and panel discussion about political partisanship in American higher education with introductory remarks from Dr. Jon Shields from his new book, Passing on the Right: Conservative Professors in the Progressive University (Oxford University Press).

To say that academia is politically progressive is a generally accepted fact of American life. But exactly how stark is this political culture in the academy, and what might it mean for what we know about the world around us – particularly from social science research?

In his new groundbreaking book, coauthored with Dr. Joshua Dunn, Dr. Jon Shields examines these issues through over 150 interviews with mostly conservative professors at universities around the country. He finds many professors who relish their uniqueness in the workplace, while others having to hide their political views…at least until they reach tenure.
