1 / THREAD / Shortly after the story of Harvard anthro dept’s 3 sexual harassers broke, we were contacted by a Black anthropologist whose experiences of bullying, harassment & abuse at a top UC anthro grad program have been routinely silenced for years.

@MeTooAnthro: could you please retweet @mbalter's message & ask for RTs?

An anthro academic, Danielle Kurin, was found guilty in Title IX proceedings. @mbalter covered this story on behalf of the victims & now she's suing him to silence her victims.

Want to further circulate our call for transformative justice on behalf of students in Harvard Anthro & African & African American Studies regarding abuse of power and sexual abuse for those who are willing to sign but maybe not seen this yet @hgsuuaw @metooanthro #anthrotwitter

The way Urton wielded his power as an abuser and gatekeeper of ancestral knowledge (that he was not even custodian of) is an enraging reminder that our codes of conduct & statements & formal processes do NOTHING if institutions & faculties continually protect people like this.
