In this episode of Talk Truth, we welcome Dr. Frances Widdowson, who discusses her decades-long experience in Canadian academia, her controversial dismissal from Mount Royal University, and the broader erosion of academic freedom. She explains how identity politics and the rise of equity, diversity, and inclusion offices have shifted university priorities away from the pursuit of truth, making open debate on topics like Indigenous policy increasingly difficult. Dr. Widdowson also addresses the dangers of current harassment policies, the corporatization of universities, and the need for professors to resist these changes to protect the foundational principles of higher education.
