An Honest Conversation About Colonialism and Australia's History with Nigel Biggar

On the 23rd of October, I sat down in Sydney, Australia, with the esteemed ethicist and theologian Nigel Biggar—Regius Professor Emeritus of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford—to discuss King Charles' visit to Australia, whether Australia should cut ties with the British monarchy and become a republic, what it means to be a patriot, far-left activism, cancel culture, and whether we should be ashamed of our colonial past. I deeply enjoyed Nigel's 2023 book, Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning, which was reviewed in Quillette. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
