To aforesaid idealists, a chance to win a prize and publish in Dissent by answering this question: “What is one of the pressing social and political issues of our time, and how would you address it?” The contest is being run in conjunction with a forthcoming documentary on the twentieth-century radical social critic Paul Goodman (“Paul Goodman Changed My Life”), which promises to be interesting. From what I can tell, you need to be under the age of 30 — a key demographic for this site, I presume.

S-USIH Comment Policy
We ask that those who participate in the discussions generated in the Comments section do so with the same decorum as they would in any other academic setting or context. Since the USIH bloggers write under our real names, we would prefer that our commenters also identify themselves by their real name. As our primary goal is to stimulate and engage in fruitful and productive discussion, ad hominem attacks (personal or professional), unnecessary insults, and/or mean-spiritedness have no place in the USIH Blog’s Comments section. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove any comments that contain any of the above and/or are not intended to further the discussion of the topic of the post. We welcome suggestions for corrections to any of our posts. As the official blog of the Society of US Intellectual History, we hope to foster a diverse community of scholars and readers who engage with one another in discussions of US intellectual history, broadly understood.
Thanks, Paul. I’m a little stunned someone made a movie about Paul Goodman. And I say this as a fan, especially of his writings on education.
