Dr. Nigel Biggar | Deconstructing Decolonization

What does Peterson Academy have for viewers after Napoleon and the Soviet Union? Its only new upload turns to the arguments surrounding colonial history, with "Dr. Nigel Biggar | Deconstructing Decolonization" becoming the channel's strongest daily draw.

The description outlines a five-hour course examining slavery, racism, abolition and the British Empire's legacy. Biggar argues that the decolonization movement is misguided, questions the case for reparations and emphasizes Christian thought's role in abolition. These are the positions the course sets out to explore, giving the new upload a more explicitly argumentative emphasis than a straightforward historical survey. Biggar also addressed this territory in his 2023 book Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning.

The channel added roughly 450,000 views across its library over the week and gained about 3,000 subscribers. Among nearby education channels, Arizona State University had a slightly larger weekly viewing total, while Drop A Pin had a particularly substantial week. Study Hall and Oxford Academic were quieter by comparison.

The new Biggar upload is drawing views at nearly twice the daily pace of "Lord Andrew Roberts | Napoleon", though Roberts's video retains a much larger accumulated audience. Its course ranges beyond military campaigns to Napoleon's legal reforms and downfall at Waterloo. "Michael Malice | The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union | Lecture Two" supplies the other major viewing draw, keeping the channel's historical itinerary spread across imperial Britain, Napoleonic Europe and the Soviet state.
