A lecture at Delta Center
Jordan B. Peterson, the Canadian psychologist and author, has amassed legions of fans through his lectures on YouTube, his best-selling books and his regular appearances on such outlets as Joe Rogan’s podcast. He rejects the “conservative” label most detractors use — by way of comments considered anti-LGBTQ (he was demonetized from YouTube for calling gender-affirming care a “Nazi medical experiment-level wrong”) and calling postmodernism “cultural Marxism” — and prefers to call himself a “traditionalist.” Peterson is scheduled to speak Tuesday, starting at 7:30 p.m., at Delta Center, 301 W. South Temple, Salt Lake City. Tickets available at deltacenter.com.
