He’s also a co-founder of Heterodox Academy and a prominent advocate for the value of having a diversity of views on university campuses.

Jonathan Rauch is a fellow at the Brookings Institution and a contributing editor at The Atlantic. A prolific writer, his books include Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought and The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth.
