The Future of Free Inquiry: Steven Pinker in Conversation with Alice Dreger

For decades, experimental cognitive psychologist Steve Pinker has been helping researchers subject to cancellation attempts from the left. Known chiefly for his pathbreaking work in human psychology, Pinker has earned a reputation as an unwavering advocate for freedom of inquiry. Now he finds himself speaking out about assaults coming from the right as the Trump administration battles with Harvard University, where Pinker is the Johnston Family Professor of Psychology. Join us as Steve Pinker shares his analyses of the problems and what he sees as the future of free inquiry, in conversation with historian of science and medicine Alice Dreger, HxA’s Managing Editor and Senior Scholar. 

The one hour conversation will include time for audience Q&A. Register today and join in on the discussion.
