Monday, November 4 at 4:30 pm ET, Musa al-Gharbi will discuss his new book, We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite (Princeton University Press). Al-Gharbi explores how the rise of “symbolic capitalists”—professionals in fields like education, media, law, and NGOs—contribute to social and economic inequalities, despite commitments to social justice.
Musa al-Gharbi is a sociologist and assistant professor at Stony Brook University. His research focuses on the political economy of knowledge production and the societal impact of scholarly and journalistic outputs.
Carissa Slotterback, Dean and Professor in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, will provide some opening remarks. The first 10 people to register using the link below, and attend on the day will get a free copy of the book. There will also be pizza provided for all attendees.
