Book Launch: Bryan Fanning, Public Morality and the Culture Wars
We are pleased to support the launch of Prof. Bryan Fanning's (UCD Professor of Migration and Social Policy) new book Public Morality and the Culture Wars: The Triple Divide (Emerald Publishing):
How is public morality understood in the twenty-first century, and what effect does this have on legislation and social policy?
Public Morality and the Culture Wars is a strictly non-polemical analysis of the intellectual and ideological conflicts at the heart of the ‘culture wars’. Taking debates on human nature, sexuality, gender identity, abortion, censorship, and free speech, Bryan Fanning offers an accessible analysis of modern public morality, identifying a ‘triple divide’ between conservative, liberal and progressive viewpoints.
A nuanced analysis of ‘culture wars’ now dividing Anglophone democracies is badly needed. Public Morality and the Culture Wars makes a vibrant and invigorating contribution to the debate, essential reading for scholars and students in the fields of social policy, law, politics, philosophy, sociology and social justice.
The launch will take place on Thursday 27th April at 5.30pm in the UCD University Club, and will include presentations by the author and by Dr. Timothy Mooney (UCD School of Philosophy).
