This episode—released one year after the U.S. Capitol Riot—examines the role of the “scholar-activist” and how their good intentions may unintentionally lead to disastrous ends. We sit down and discuss these topics with Appalachian State University professors: Martha McCaughey, Professor of Sociology, and Scott Welsh, Associate Professor of Communication.

Martha and Scott’s blog: “University Professors After the U.S. Capitol Riot: When Becoming Part of the Solution Is Part of the Problem.”
