Ishaan Jajodia ('20), Reclaiming Middlebrow Culture

Monday July 7 at 5 pm in Rocky 1.

Ishaan Jajodia (’20) (Yale Political Science Ph.D), focuses on the conservative fetish with high culture and the left’s obsession with the subaltern. The victim of this combination, he argues, is cosmopolitanism, and his talk explores a middle ground to reclaim middlebrow culture—neither high nor low, comfortable in itself and able to mediate between both.
