Prompted by Emily Chamlee-Wright’s fine essay “Self-censorship and Associational Life in the Liberal Academy” (the symposium lead essay), I present a scheme that focuses on something that might not seem to fit Emily’s focus on self-censorship. But after presenting my Scheme I will suggest that it does. My scheme focuses on the wrestling we engage in to alter the composite character of the communities we belong to. It turns out that one of the dimensions of dissimilitude within the community, a dimension to some extent beyond politics, is liberal arts affirmation versus solidaric political affirmation. © 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
