My returning guest is Catherine Liu, a professor of film and media studies at UC Irvine. She is the author of “Virtue Hoarders: the Case Against the Professional Managerial Class.” We explore the psychological significance of “trauma” and “care” within the liberal discourse today. Liu describes a moral panic among elites where the language of personal therapy attempts to right social and historical wrongs. These topics will be part of her forthcoming book “Traumatized!”, to be published by Verso Books early next year.
