Peter Boghossian resigned from his position as Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Portland State University, where he had taught for ten years.
He left under pressure. His letter of resignation is on his website, and is compulsory reading. It is entitled, “My University Sacrificed Ideas for Ideology”.
We interviewed him first in 2015. He now travels a great deal, gives speeches frequently, and writes and is published on numerous outlets.
Let us know what you think of the interview, in The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
