Inside the Issue
Previous Issues
Eve — December 2025The end of education, and possibly of us. The fruit of uncomfortable ideas. A hero's journey. The upside to censorship. All this plus more fascinating and at times counter-intuitive thinking in the December 2025 issue on "Eve."
Class — September 2025Transcendence and revolution. Academia’s “quiet aristocracy.” Higher ed’s haves and have-nots. Heterodoxy and Deaf culture. All this, plus a lot of digging, in the September 2025 issue on “Class.”
Power — June 2025Who should hold power over college classrooms, call-outs of bad research, and jarred human remains? What can a pair of dead philosophers tell us about campus battles today, and why should we consider giving in to the AI bots? And what can rats tell us about academic freedom? This and more in inquisitive’s June 2025 issue on the theme of Power.
Discipline — March 2025What are we to make of undisciplined disciplines, the politics of training rural doctors, and an ancient cross-dressing ritual that maybe isn’t about gender? What’s more punishing—a retraction or a recipe for Kung Pao Tofu? And does the First Amendment cover academic freedom? This and more in inquisitive’s March 2025 issue on the theme of Discipline.
The Nerve — December 2024How might human nature be thwarting science? What’s the problem with the IRB protection racket? Why might it be easier to teach polyamory in China than here? And why would anyone give up tenure? This and more in inquisitive’s Dec. 2024 issue, The Nerve.
