Frances Widdowson takes Lethbridge University
The brave versus the obnoxious.
Last week I wrote about Dr. Frances Widdowson’s scheduled appearance as a guest lecturer at the University of Lethbridge. Philosophy professor, Dr. Paul Viminitz, had invited Dr. Widdowson to speak to his class on indigenous ways of knowing (a video of that lecture is at the bottom of this post). Today, I am picking up the coverage on the Lethbridge situation from where my last post left off.
In addition to two indigenous ways of knowing lectures Dr. Widdowson gave to Dr. Viminitz’ class, a public lecture, called “How 'Woke-ism' Threatens Academic Freedom” was also slated to take place at University of Lethbridge. However the university’s president Mike Mahon caved to the pressure from activists and cancelled the public talk. The irony is not lost when one considers that Dr. Widdowson’s planned discussion on the threat wokeism poses to academic freedom was canceled by a university president.
