Episode Details

What exactly is “wokeness”—and is it really disappearing? Joseph Backholm sits down with author Neil Shenvi to unpack the critical theory behind modern identity politics and how its ideas have shaped conversations about race, gender, sexuality, oppression, and justice. They also explore a growing response on the political right: an identity politics that may reject the conclusions of the woke left while adopting a surprisingly similar framework. Neil explains why Christians should reject both approaches and instead look to Scripture for a better understanding of identity, justice, and our need for righteousness in Christ.

Politics For Happy People is a project of the NC Values Institute.
