'Why are Fewer People Identifying as Trans?', Unherd with Freddie Sayers, Oct 14
2026/09/04
UnHerd's Freddie Sayers sits down with professor Eric Kaufmann.
Watch it on the UnHerd website: https://unherd.com/watch-listen/is-th...
Listen to the podcast: https://plnk.to/unherd?to=page
Freddie Sayers sits down with Professor of Politics at the University of Buckingham, Eric Kaufmann, to discuss his latest report on “The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans”, which reveals a significant and surprising shift in the landscape of gender and sexual identity among Generation Z. Professor Kaufmann explains his findings, which show a sharp drop in both trans and queer identification since 2023. Drawing on data from large-scale surveys of US undergraduates, he details how the share of trans-identified students has nearly halved in just two years. Their discussion explores the data, including trends in elite institutions, and delves into the potential reasons for this decline. Is it linked to changes in mental health, the growing distance from the pandemic and lockdowns, or the so-called “anti-woke” vibe shift?

'A Cultural Revolution in Winter,' with Razib Khan
2026/08/27
Today Razib talks to Eric Kaufmann, a Canadian professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, where he directs the Centre for Heterodox Social Science. He earned his BA from the University of Western Ontario and his MA and PhD from the London School of Economics. Prior to his current role, he held positions at the University of Southampton and Birkbeck, University of London, which he left in October 2023. He is the author of several books, including Whiteshift: Immigration, Populism and the Future of White Majorities, Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?, and The Third Awokening. His research interests include nationalism, political and religious demography, and national identity. Kaufmann is a previous guest on the podcast.
Razib and Kaufmann begin their conversation by exploring the thesis of one of his earlier works, 2004’s Rise and Fall of Anglo-America. They discuss the definition of “WASP,” White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, and cultural changes in the white American majority because of the massive immigration waves of the 19th and early 20th century. Kaufman argues that a coalition of liberal WASPs and “white ethnics” was instrumental in the eventual overthrow of the cultural hegemony of elite Protestant whites in the second half of the 20th century. Razib and Kaufman then relate the history of the WASPs to his latest book, The Third Awokening, which chronicles the rise of “cultural socialism” centered around race. Kaufman documents the potency of the ideas of the latest variant of wokeness, their traction among the youth, and argues for its historical roots in earlier forms of Anglo liberalism.

Free Speech Under Threat in Canada, Macdonald-Laurier Institute Discussion
2026/07/08
Free speech in Canada is facing unprecedented pressure from expanding government controls and cultural shifts. Once the bedrock of democratic life, open debate is increasingly stifled by laws targeting so-called “harmful” expression and by a rising climate of censorship – especially on sensitive issues like immigration, gender, and national identity.
Canada’s conception of free speech has quietly – but profoundly – shifted. Once seen as a tool for collective truth-seeking and democratic engagement, it is now often framed as a matter of personal expression. This turn, amplified by the Charter’s post-1982 interpretation and the rise of expressive individualism, has made them more easily overridden in the name of competing values like “safety” and “inclusion.” The result? A thinner, more fragile vision of free expression – one less anchored in the rigour of open debate.
Join Macdonald-Laurier Institute Senior Fellows Ryan Alford and Eric Kaufmann for a critical conversation on the future of free expression in Canada. They’ll explore the cultural currents weakening resistance to censorship, the revival of restrictive laws, and the risks they pose to our foundational freedoms. They will also offer a roadmap for Canadians seeking to restore a culture of open inquiry and principled dissent. It’s time for Canadians to raise their voices in defence of free speech – before it’s too late.

‘The progressive era is over’ | Eric Kaufmann on how Trump is overturning 60 years of woke
The re-election of Donald Trump has heralded more than just a ‘vibe shift’. Here, Eric Kaufmann – director of the Centre for Heterodox Social Science at the University of Buckingham – argues that 60 years of woke orthodoxy are in the administration’s crosshairs. Policies institutionalised for decades, from affirmative action to PC speech codes, are finally being unpicked. The post-progressive era has arrived.
