About this episode
What started as a small protest about conditions of a school and of schooling has mushroomed, and tapped into national anxieties that may prove hard to tame. In the context of the “Cornell 7” case we examine Title IX, the statute that should protect students—but that is failing. And how peddling superstitions to financiers is big business in India.
Guests and host:
- Sophie Pedder, Paris bureau chief
- Stevie Hertz, US policy correspondent
- Abhishek Kumar, India writer
- Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”
Topics covered:
- France protests, French politics
- Cornell 7, Title IX, sexual assault
- India, finance, astrology, superstition
