*The New Enlightenment and the Fight to Free Knowledge

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Spring 2021 Project Briefing / *The New Enlightenment and the Fight to Free Knowledge

March 8, 2021

Peter Kaufman
Strategic Initiatives and Resource Development
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Today’s health crisis, economic crisis, and political crisis are all a function of our current information disorder. Can CNI members—almost every one a knowledge institution—play a role in addressing this epistemic catastrophe? Is there a progressive agenda that can inspire effective collective action? MIT Open Learning’s Peter Kaufman draws on his just-published book to sound a clear call to action with steps to take before more Capitol-Hill-style violence overwhelms us.
