About this Event
Author and political theorist Laura K. Field joins us to discuss her book Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right, which examines how the political moment surrounding Donald Trump’s 2016 election reshaped the American conservative intellectual landscape. Field argues that while Trump himself was not a traditional ideological thinker, his rise created space for a network of academics, public intellectuals, and influencers who constitute the “MAGA New Right,” and who now exert significant influence in Washington, DC.
Conversation moderated by Hank Owings.
