Join the National Association of Scholars on Friday, August 23, at 6 pm ET for an in-person event titled "WWW: Wax, Weiss, Widdowson—this time it's personal."

“WWW: Wax, Weiss and Widdowson—this time it's personal” is a live, in-person event at the National Association of Scholars headquarters in New York City. Amy Wax (the Robert Mundheim Professor of Law at University of Pennsylvania Law School), Elizabeth Weiss (professor emeritus of anthropology at San José State University), and Frances Widdowson (former associate professor of economics, justice and policy studies at Mount Royal University) have tackled some of the most controversial topics in their fields: the roots of race differences and the problems of affirmative action; the burial of science at the behest of Native American activists using creation myths; the acceptance of trans ideology in the place of scientific facts about men and women; and challenges to claims about clandestine graves in Indian Residential Schools in Canada.

In all cases, Wax, Weiss and Widdowson faced not legitimate criticisms, but ad hominem attacks that centered around name—calling, from "bitch" to "Nazi"—often focused on physical appearance; woke warriors never argue with facts. Wax, Weiss and Widdowson will discuss the facts behind their controversial perspectives, the way name-calling obfuscates real debate, and how personal attacks affect academia in general, and their own careers, specifically.

This event will feature Amy Wax, the Robert Mundheim Professor Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and accomplished author and legal scholar; Elizabeth Weiss, a controversial and world-renowned anthropology professor, specializing in the analysis of human skeletal remains, she has been featured in major news publications, is a National Association of Scholars board member, and is the author of several books; and Frances Widdowson, a former Associate Professor of Economics, Justice, and Policy Studies at Mount Royal University who was fired in December 2021 for satirizing "woke" ideas, she has written and edited a number of books on indigenous-non-indigenous relations in Canada, and is currently working on a manuscript titled The Woke Academy: How Advocacy Studies Murder Scholarship and Effective Policy Development.
