The Free Mind Podcast explores philosophic and political ideas with adventurous disregard for intellectual trends. Listeners are invited to pull up a chair in an intellectual laboratory where rationally defensible arguments are tested in the spirit of truth-seeking, and made in a conversational style free of academic jargon. The podcast engages scholars and public intellectuals who seek to present a diversity of viewpoints in a venue where good faith is granted at the door, and clear expression of ideas is more important than adherence to any particular ideology.

S8 E1: Cory Clark, Adversarial collaboration and rebuilding trust in academia
Cory Clark is Executive Director of the Adversarial Collaboration Project at the University of Pennsylvania, where she is also Visiting Scholar in the Wharton School and the School of Arts and Sciences. The Adversarial Collaboration Project brings together scholars who have contrasting views on important scientific questions to work out their differences through rigorous collaborations. It is based on the idea that viewpoint diversity produces better science. We discuss this project, as well as Dr. Clark's other work on trust in academia, nuances in gender bias, and more.
