First, @TheConversationUS isn’t a “media outlet.” It’s a forum for public scholarship, which is not slanted politically.
This essay, however, should have been peer-reviewed.
Second, Daniel Klinghard is at the College of the Holy Cross. A small (3k), private, Jesuit, four-year liberal arts college in Worcester, MA. Old.
His PhD: Brandeis University (also in MA, also private).
Lived experience: “outside the mainstream.”
