A Critique of the Kalven Committee Report

Here for whatever it’s worth is the whole of the “Skeptics’ Panel” at the Heterodox Academy conference, including my talk (discussed here), “Kalven’s Complicit Executioners: A Critique of the Kalven Committee Report.” My talk comes between Michael Veber’s critique of the “Heterodox Academy Way,” and Alice Dreger’s commentary on both presentations, and begins around minute 18. I apologize for how rapidly I spoke, but there were tight time constraints, and I didn’t want to run over. Thanks to Heterodox Academy for hosting the talk, and for putting the video on YouTube.

To repeat something mentioned on my slides: my institutional affiliation is given exclusively for purposes of identification at the request of the conference organizers; the views I express in this discussion are my own, and do not represent any organization, including my employer.
