Tom Nichols: "The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters"
Monday, Feb. 19, 2018
Tom Nichols is a professor at the U.S. Naval War College, at the Harvard Extension School, a Sovietologist, and a five-time undefeated "Jeopardy!" champion. He is a senior contributor at The Federalist and the author of seven books. Previously he was a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He also worked for Senator John Heinz as personal staff for defense and security affairs.
He is a member of the Never Trump movement and one of "the most eloquent conservative voices against President Trump." During the 2016 presidential campaign, Nichols argued that conservatives should vote for Hillary Clinton, whom he detested, because Trump was "too mentally unstable" to serve as commander-in-chief.
