Helen Pluckrose joins Inaya Folarin Iman on Episode 13 of Equianopod to discuss the impact of critical social justice on individuals, particularly in academic settings. She highlights her involvement in exposing flaws in academia through the grievance studies affair and co-authoring the influential book 'Cynical Theories' with James Lindsay.

Pluckrose emphasises the challenges she faced in pursuing her studies due to pressure to conform to certain ideologies. She outlines the evolution of postmodern thought and its influence on critical social justice, pointing out the shift from deconstruction to the current emphasis on power dynamics and discourses.
