I am a writer, a senior lecturer at Bath Spa University, an associate research fellow at Birkbeck, University of London, and a BBC radio producer. My new book is Elitism: A Progressive Defence (Biteback, 2020). My previous book is Anti-Politics: On the Demonization of Ideology, Authority and the State (Repeater, 2018). The one before that is Get Real: How to See Through the Hype, Spin and Lies of Modern Life (Fourth Estate, 2012). I write for the Guardian, Prospect, the London Review of Books, the Independent, and the New Statesman, among other places, and I speak at conferences, festivals and in the media about my ideas and research. I also produce programmes on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 3 such as Free Thinking, Front Row and Woman’s Hour. You can email me at elianeglaser at hotmail dot com
