One of my last students just got an honorable mention on the SLA prize. I’m so pleased. It’s an incredible paper, and I’m so proud to have worked with the student.

Love this for them. LOVE. IT.

If you haven’t been actively advising a dissertation, you are setting your student up to write 750 pages of nonsense. When the first writing you see is a defense draft, there is a reason, and it is your teaching and mentorship.

@Muna_Mire This is the story of my antique persian rug.

@HellOnCrutches @clancynewyork @KarakusIlkim Well, felt. Maybe now they have had input from friends or family members who have work/life experience in a world that has HR to prevent orgs from getting sued for labor and civil rights violations.

[Dr. Gretchen Pfeil @pfeil]

@HellOnCrutches @clancynewyork @KarakusIlkim Really doubt any of them feel they need an attorney. They have mitigated risk without council in the past, simply by threatening and blacklisting jr scholars.

@seefryar @DannyFratina They have been through this scenario many times, and sometimes to defend the same perp, and they just thought it would play out the same this time as it has before: further cementing their power over the field and ensuring silence from abused female students.

@OU_Williams @DavidVeevers1 @seefryar So many of the letter signers are outside Harvard Anthropology. I think those signatures themselves make a case for the networks through which these people exercise control.

[Dr. Gretchen Pfeil @pfeil]

@sumacweave @decmusicology @grouchybagels @profmarylewis @BostonGlobe So they acted on fairly complete information about the “fuck around,” but were not clear on the time and scale of the “find out.” This makes them even less sympathetic to me.

[Dr. Gretchen Pfeil @pfeil]

@Emily_Brier_ @Lady_Historian A lot of undergrad dean of students types provide “therapy” themselves, DIRECTLY. I’m looking at you, Dartmouth.

@carrideen It went on so long at the UofC, everyone knew about it. We talked about it all the time. Some prospective sts asked about the couple’s behavior w sts at a prospective student event. That incoming cohort ended up w NO women. The student who replied at the event was disciplined.
