Cancelling Authors, "Sensitivity Readers," & the DEATH of Publishing | Adam Szetela

Adam Szetela finished his Ph.D. in the Department of Literatures in English at Cornell University. Before Cornell, he was a visiting fellow in the Program on the Study of Capitalism at Harvard University.

He is the author of That Book Is Dangerous! How Moral Panic, Social Media, and the Culture Wars Are Remaking Publishing.

In this video, Adam and I discuss the death of the publishing industry, "sensitivity readers," the cancellation of authors, and more.
