S2. Ep 6: A Hierarchy of Trauma

Episode 7 of 22

How the expansion of the definition of trauma led to a clampdown on free speech.

How a bestselling book about trauma - lockdown’s number one bestseller - helped the culture war over free speech burst out of colleges and into the workplace. A shift some people pejoratively call the Great Awokening.

Written and presented by Jon Ronson
Produced by Sarah Shebbeare
