Has Woke Taken Over Everything? - Dr Joanna Williams

Dr Joanna Williams is the Founder of Cieo, associate editor of Spiked and an author. The last few years has seen progressive ideas capture institutions, academics and headlines. But how much has this ideology actually trickled down to making a real impact in the world? Is it just a moral panic about a moral panic or is there something to really be concerned about? Expect to learn why police officers are being told to actively refer to themselves as woke, how 3 month old babies can be racist, why air conditioning is misogynistic, whether the people pushing these narratives actually believe this stuff, what the future of progressive messaging has in store and much more...
