Dear Friend,
Last week I emailed you about NAS’s summer membership drive and encouraged you to join the NAS as a member.
I wanted to remind you that you only have 8 days left to sign up if you want to be entered into the raffle to receive a signed copy of Dr. Peter Wood’s book 1620: A Critical Response to the 1619 Project.
As I mentioned in my last note to you, one of the key benefits of NAS membership is a subscription to our quarterly journal, Academic Questions. Here is a taste of the kind of articles you can expect to find when you become a member:
Diversity Training is Unscientific and Divisive
by Robert Maranto and Craig Frisby
“What have we (and countless others) learned? To state the matter bluntly: diversity programs usually do not work, and they often result in negative unintended consequences that are far worse than the problems that such programs were originally designed to address.”
Social Justice 101: Intro to Cancel Culture
by Steven Kessler
“If the only thing necessary to destroy an institution or an individual is finding a simple flaw, nothing is capable of standing up to scrutiny. Everything imperfect must be destroyed, and must be replaced by an idea—or more accurately, an ideal—that exemplifies the vision of the destroyers.”
Even Finance Professors Lean Left
by Emre Kuvvet
“It is well known that a person’s political ideology shapes his outlook on scientific issues. […] This analysis of the political party affiliations of faculty at the top twenty finance departments and of the editorial boards at the top three finance journals shows that both institutions lean considerably to the left. Results also suggest that finance departments will become even less politically diverse in the future.”
These are all from our most recent issue of Academic Questions. If you join today, you will receive access not only to this issue, but also to our back catalog of over 30 years of Academic Questions, which include articles from some of the finest scholars of our generation.
So don’t wait — join today!
Best,
Chris Kendall
Director of Development
