<BR>
Is this one ‘anti-left’? Looks to me more like an attempt to claim the position of the ‘true left’ against a current, as Emma Dawson would have it ‘degraded’, academic form. She’s certainly ‘anti-theory’, but I wonder whether a different kind of response is called for in cases like these than to a Bolt or Windschuttle. It is not nice being attacked in public, but isn’t this really someone we should be trying to talk around, find common ground with ...?<BR>

Another anti-left, anti-theory attack in today’s Australian, attacking the ‘Everyday Multiculturalism’ conference we are holding here at Macquarie University which a number of you are presenting at.<BR>
