Gad Saad is the author of "The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense".

The discussion will focus on his idea about pathogens that were spawned on university campuses (e.g., postmodernism, social constructivism, militant feminism, cultural relativism, political correctness, biophobia, identity politics, ideological echo chambers), their proliferation outside of academia, and ways by which we might inoculate ourselves against what he views as such dangerously parasitic ideas.

Dr. Gad Saad is Professor of Marketing at Concordia University. In addition to his scientific work, Dr. Saad is a leading public intellectual who often writes and speaks about what he describes as idea pathogens that are destroying logic, science, reason, and common sense. His fourth book The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense was released in October 2020 and is now an international bestseller.

Barbara Kay is author and regular columnist the National Post since 2003 and for thepostmillennial.com.
