Hey, it pays the rent. If the department ends in "Studies", it's a jobs program.
And a power play. Still, this particular persona does have a certain "form of art" miasma floating about all them there. I suspect they don't like normies much.
It takes an entire career to contribute meaningfully to a field of real science. You can speedrun your way to becoming a prolific publisher in sociology journals by rearranging words you find in the appendix of your undergrad textbook. Someday we'll look back and realize these were all just creative ways to dodge plagiarism detectors and pad resumes for the inevitable career at an NGO or "nonprofit" activism group. A shortcut to the dragon's lair of USAID gold.
Another example of pronoun confusion on the part of the pronoun-obsessed. "She" and "they" are both third-person subjective pronouns (like "he" or "she"), used in the subject part of a sentence, like "she wrote this dreck" or "they are not of sound mind." So, how are we third-persons supposed to know which pronoun to use when writing or speaking about this eminent scholar? Are we at risk of mis-gendering or mis-numbering Ms. Diamond-Lenow, if we use the wrong pronoun?
This reminds me of the guy I crossed swords with recently in a thread, who hates Israel because when he was small his mother was pushing him in a stroller and a Jewish dog barked at him.
I understand the economic model for STEM programs where universities scrape 40 to 60% of the NIH and NSF grants and 10-15% sourced from foundations. They also have robust masters programs for international students (mostly Chinese) that pay full freight.
Has anyone looked at the level of subsidization for these "Victim's Studies" programs? Do alumni or foundations actually fund endowed chairs in these departments? (If so, perhaps that's the next place for the DEI resistance movement to shine a focus on.)
p.s. There must be a back story for how Steve stumbled across this article. Perhaps after a few whiskies, Lucretia can share...
Oneonta. Used to be a NY-P league team, not crucified by the devils of MLB. Little upstate NY school, reasonably priced. Went to one and did well, but not a public Ivy.
Access to college should be more affordable, firing her would help.
Let me know if you want a discussion of 1960's NY state public education expansion under Rockefeller.
A paywall is not sufficient--a Berlin Wall would be much better. . . .

" Her book project in-progress “Boundary Affects: Race, Sex, and Species in U.S. Empire,” "

Who cares? No rational person.

The ASPCA should probably be keeping an eye out for canine 'abuse' around this, ah, 'person.'
The belle of the ball for sure.
How lucky society is that She/It won't reproduce.

I interned at a mental institution many years back, so I kinda know crazy when I hear it. Nuff said.

We are definitely at the end-stage of civilization.
It's getting to the point where one must be actively insane to be a published academic.
How are these departments funded?

How does (she/they) work? Why is two of the same case useful?

This is small frty by academic lunacy standards. For example there is this...
