Big Ideas
Big Ideas offers lectures on a variety of thought-provoking topics which range across politics, culture, economics, art history, science.... By nature of its lecture format, pacing and inquisitive approach, it is the antithesis of the prevailing sound-bite television norm. The simple, bold concept is a victory of substance over style. Big Ideas airs Saturdays and Sundays at 4:00 PM EST on TVO - Canada's largest educational broadcaster.

Walter Benn Michaels is the author of "The Trouble with Diversity". In both his book and this lecture he discusses the need to re-examine the liberal focus on issues of race and gender in order to begin to address the more critical issue of economic inequality.
