Great article Thomas.

How do scholar activists answer the question "why should a conservative government, voted in by a conservative electorate, fund an explicitly and inherently anti-conservative academia"?

Splendid article! We try not being activists because understanding is needed before a path is selected. We worry about the amount of activism that is creeping into every field and think that it creates some challenges too. If all scholarships is activist, then it's harder to engage in conversation that can convince neutrals or newly informed people.
