Author and political theorist Laura K. Field, joins The University of Scranton to discuss her book “Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right,” which examines how the political moment surrounding the 2016 presidential election reshaped the American conservative intellectual landscape.<\/p>\n
Field argues that while President Donald Trump himself was not a traditional ideological thinker, his rise created space for a network of academic, public intellectuals and influencers who have contributed to what she describes as the “MAGA New Right.”<\/p>\n
The free event, open to the public, will take place Thursday, March 5 at 5:30 p.m. at the\u00a0Pearn Auditorium, Brennan Hall 228.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sponsored by the Gail and Francis Slattery Center for Ignatian Humanities, Special Jesuit Liberal Arts Honors Program, College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Office, Political Science Department, History Department and Legal Studies.<\/p>\n
