This video is intended to be the first of a series called “PS Talks,” as part of the Public Seminar efforts “to provoke critical and informed discussion by any means necessary.”

The conversation took place as Professor Jensen was completing his term as a visiting scholar in the Sociology Department of the New School for Social Research.
