What is fuelling today’s culture wars? In America and Britain, the “culture wars” are fuelling hatred and division.

Sociologists talk of “affective polarization”, where one side is driven by an instinct to defeat the other. The Economist, Sep. 22nd 2022.

Culture Vultures invites everybody to the next meeting in which these questions and others will be discussed in a conversation with students and staff members.
