I’m joined this week by Alexandra Hudson, the curator of the Civic Renaissance newsletter and the author of a forthcoming book about civility and civic politeness called “Against Politeness: Why Politeness Failed America and How Civility Can Save It.” We discuss why she thinks civility can do what politeness can’t, why the best education for the best is the best education for all, and why we shouldn’t assume that popular culture is all bad: stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear her recommendations of substantive works in our pop culture today.About Alexandra Hudson: https://www.alexandraohudson.com/ Civic Renaissance: https://www.civic-renaissance.com/ ********************Free video series, “The Quest”: quest.udallas.edu/Liberal Learning for Life @ University of Dallas: udallas.edu/liberal-learning/Twitter: twitter.com/lib_learning_udInstagram: www.instagram.com/liberallearningforlife/Facebook: www.facebook.com/liberallearningforlife
