Our open letter to Routledge is now published.

We demand that the book 'Sexual Misconduct in Academia' - withdrawn after 'complaints' - be reinstated, with an explanation from Routledge.

Please share, and read and sign here:

[The 1752 Group @1752Group]

Auto-ethnographic accounts of sexual harassment by faculty are a crucial tool for early career academics to break the silence about their experiences. There is a long tradition of victim-survivors writing de-identified accounts of such experiences in academia.

[The 1752 Group @1752Group]

We stand in solidarity with the authors of Chapter 12 of the book 'Sexual Misconduct in Academia'.

The book has been withdrawn from publication by @routledgebooks after complaints were made about the chapter. [paywall, sorry]:

Since Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are trending, check out the names of the professors who signed an open letter supporting Boaventura de Sousa Santos. This just shows that decolonial "theory's cool but theory with no practice ain't shit."

The past few days have been overwhelming. I continue to support @ghaywan’s excellent work, now with Made in Heaven and earlier with Geeli Pucchi on Netflix. But this needs to be said.

This was an inspiring panel to be in. Perhaps also an imp reminder of what friendship networks can & cannot achieve in both scholarship & activism

Vibrant Roundtable discussion on Is there a Discipline called Nepal Studies?
