How We Got Here — and How We Begin to Get Out of Here

Dr. Lauren Lassabe Shepherd (University of New Orleans) is the author of Resistance from the Right: Conservatives and the Campus Wars in Modern America. She’s also the host of the American Campus Podcast. Her work, which has appeared in various national publications, traces the modern conservative movement to campus wars in the late 1960s. In her estimation, neither Trump nor the conservative agenda is actually very popular. The question is how we can advance policies that are.
