We are delighted to host Prof. Musa Al-Gharbi for a tour of Australia.

Musa al-Gharbi is a sociologist and assistant professor in the School of Communication and Journalism at Stony Brook University. His research primarily focuses on the political economy of knowledge production and the social life of scholarly and journalistic outputs. He is a columnist for The Guardian, and his writing has also appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, and more.

The events will be centered around his new book, We Have Never Been Woke". Musa al-Gharbi argues that the social justice language of 'inclusion' and 'equality' has too often been co-opted by well-educated elites and used to maintain exclusionary institutions and practices, arguing this ultimately protects the interests of the elites themselves, at the expense of the disadvantaged.
