What Jennifer Burns actually said

  1. Jennifer Burns Historian of ideas at Stanford University and the Hoover Institution
    Postmodernism started about disrupting binaries. We're going to be fluid. We're going to go beyond the border. We're going to disrupt the binary. And it's devolved in its popular forms to the re-inscribing of many different binaries. Oppressor and oppressed has become this paradigmatic set of glasses you put on to understand the world.
