Georgia State University

<a href="http://education.gsu.edu/profile/stephanie-behm-cross/">Professor Stephanie Behm Cross</a>, Georgia State University, published an academic journal article lamenting the “insidiousness of silence and whiteness” on college campuses. In her article, she states that “Remaining silent may itself be the luxury of white privilege and may reinforce oppression." She goes on to say, “This is particularly true when working as a White faculty member, operating with high levels of White fragility, within a system of higher education cloaked in Whiteness.”

<a href="https://cas.gsu.edu/profile/sierra-carter/#profile-publications-tab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sierra Carter</a> is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Georgia State University, an Adjunct Faculty Member at Emory University, and a Faculty Fellow at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS at Yale University. Her work has been<a href="https://www.drsierracarter.com/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> featured prominently in publications</a> such as The Washington Post, NPR, and NBC News.   

Carter alleges a direct link exists between racism and the declining health of African Americans. “Racial discrimination as an acute and chronic stressor can affect development and further exacerbate chronic illnesses and stress-related disorders,” she states on<a href="https://www.drsierracarter.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> her personal site</a>.

<a href="https://theconversation.com/racial-discrimination-ages-black-americans-faster-according-to-a-25-year-long-study-of-families-143313" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A study conducted by Carter</a> alleges individuals who experienced racism as a child are more likely to suffer depression, advanced aging, and early death. She writes, “The experience of constant and accumulating stress due to racism throughout an individual’s lifetime can wear and tear down the body.”

Continuing, Carter states that her work has “significant implications” due to the number of black Americans who are killed by “racial injustice” and suffer from racial health disparities. Carter vows to interrupt racism with her colleagues so that “black lives matter and are able to thrive.”

Despite her assertions, <a href="https://psycnet.apa.org/manuscript/2019-42997-001.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at no point in Carter’s study did she determine if the racist incidents her subjects described even occurred</a>. Incidents were only self-reported via a short questionnaire and were never independently verified. In addition, the study did not diagnose any patients with depression but still claimed that a correlation existed between those that experienced symptoms of depression and racism. The study only surveyed a relatively small sample size of 800 families. 

<a href="https://theconversation.com/brain-scans-of-black-women-who-experience-racism-show-trauma-like-effects-putting-them-at-higher-risk-for-future-health-problems-165511" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Another study conducted by Carter</a> claimed that racism alters the long-term brain function of black women. She concluded that racist incidents are far more detrimental to the long-term health of black women than traumatic events like childhood abuse, physical abuse, and sexual violence. 

As with the prior study, <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2782454" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a small sample size of only 55 black women was surveyed</a>. Self-reported instances of racial discrimination against participants were also never verified by researchers. 

Dr. Carter has been contacted for comment. This article will be updated accordingly.

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/clara-moore.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clara S. Moore</a> is a Professor of Biology at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. According to her university profile, Moore researches “Mouse models for Down syndrome, [and the] effects of trisomy on cardiovascular, skeletal, hematopoietic, and other systems during development.”
Moore was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 
Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”
The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”
The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 
They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/stephanie-mcnulty.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephanie McNulty</a> is the Honorable and Mrs. John C. Kunkel Professor of Government at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. McNulty’s university profile states she is a “Latin Americanist with expertise in participatory governance, gender, decentralization, and development.”

In March 2021, McNulty co-authored an <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2021/03/12/colleges-must-acknowledge-challenges-facing-female-academics-who-juggle-work-and#.YHTMhYqX9L4.link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on equity. The authors put forth the following goal to resolve what they deem to be the lessening of diversity and equity caused by COVID-19:
“For starters, every institution must acknowledge the problem and openly address what can appear invisible and ignored to those of us living in this reality. The academy risks emerging from this pandemic with less diversity and gender equity than before unless we change course. The first step is initiating a conversation and listening. Once people have a space to talk openly about their challenges, a lot of problem solving and solutions naturally emerge.”\

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/christine-chalifoux.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christine Chalifoux</a> is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Africana Studies at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. Her university profile states, “Her research explores how people forge kinship bonds across ethnic lines in a city where stereotypes bear the weight of colonial and postcolonial histories. She is also interested in rethinking the notions of both caregiving and resistance, and all of her work grapples with the dialectical relationship between intimacy and resentment.”

Chalifoux was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/nicholas-montemarano.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicholas Montemarano</a> is the Alumni Professor of Creative Writing and Belles Lettres and a Professor of English at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. 

Montemarano was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization.

Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

Jaipreet Virdi is an Associate Professor at the University of Delaware. <a href="https://www.history.udel.edu/people/faculty/jvirdi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Her university profile says</a> she’s “a historian of medicine, technology and disability.” Her research and teaching interests include disability history and material/visual culture studies.

Virdi linked her struggles of growing up with a disability to U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman’s debate performances. Virdi reacted to the public's response in a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2022/11/04/john-fetterman-eugenics-stroke-fitness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Post op-ed</a>. She stated,

“[W]hile some saw Fetterman's halting speech and need for closed captioning as evidence of cognitive impairment, the conversation surrounding his fitness is premised on bias ableism. The polished, articulate and groomed image we associate with the ideal politician…is actually rooted in eugenics.”

She further contended,

“Eugenics simply applied a scientific gloss to exiting race, class and gender prejudices…The eugenic impulse created perceptions about what kind of traits were ‘desirable’ — intelligence, health, appearance and success — and therefore who should reproduce to propagate normal or superior traits, and who shouldn’t.”

In 2020, Virdi <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hearing_Happiness/boBMyAEACAAJ?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published “Hearing Happiness: Deafness Cures in History”</a> — a nonfiction novel retelling the story of losing her hearing to bacterial meningitis at four years old. In <a href="https://youtu.be/BJWhpB0jMR0">an interview discussing the book</a>, Virdi said,

“Speech is always used as a marker of normality, it’s the expectation that if a deaf person can manage speech, then they can pass as hearing. No one’s going to really notice them. I can’t tell you how many times people have said to me, ‘You speak really well for a deaf person.’”

“What do we expect any citizen in society to do to uphold the standards of normality, like what does a normal citizen look like? In many cases, you know, it’s someone who is able-bodied, godly in many cases, self-sufficient and hearing. Hearing is this marker of normality because we believe that anything that deviates from that is abnormal.” 

Her course <a href="https://www.history.udel.edu/Documents%20Bios%20CVs/faculty/syllabus/virdi/Virdi_HIST%20337%20Health%20Activism_Spring2020.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Healthy Bodies: Citizenship, Medicine &amp; Social Activism</a> explores the history of health activism in American history. The learning outcomes state that the course “is designed for [students] to gain knowledge of the history of health activism and the different ways that grassroots participation, citizen activism, and popular mobilization have tied healthcare to social justice.”

According to the Women’s Leadership Initiative <a href="https://lerner.udel.edu/centers/womens-leadership-initiative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, the organization “envisions a world where gender equity advances opportunities for all” and their stated mission is to “advance gender equity in leadership.”

In 2021, she gave a series of lectures on theories of racism and white supremacy in America, <a href="https://youtu.be/P4lL5he1s7s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including a talk at Naropa University.</a>
Naropa University is private Buddhist University that offers degrees in subjects such as Yoga Studies, Religious Studies, and Art Therapy — Syedullah was introduced as a “black feminist, political theorist of abolition.” The event title was “Surviving White Supremacy: Towards a Radical Dharma of Staying Fugitive.”
Sharing thoughts from her book “Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love, and Liberation,” she said:
“I studied some history [of Buddhist studies] but was mostly taken by the dharma itself, the philosophy [and] how directly did Buddhist philosophies…directly addressed the implicit paradox of the western colonial project. This paradox being on one had, we have a freedom rooted in personal sovereignty, autonomy, and will…”
She continued:
“I’ll add, this is a freedom in theory for most and [a] practice for a precious gender class and race pillaging, not privileging, few. And on the other, we have a freedom rooted in interdependence, decentered egoism, and impermanence.”
In June 2021, Syedullah signed a “<a href="https://miscellanynews.org/2021/05/25/opinions/letter-to-the-editor-vassar-community-members-statement-of-solidarity-with-the-palestinian-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Letter to the Editor: Vassar Community Members’ Statement of Solidarity with the Palestinian People</a>” that was published by The Miscellany News. The statement says,
“As members of the Vassar Community and people of conscience, we denounce the ongoing attacks on Palestinians by the Israeli armed forces…We affirm that the Palestinian struggled in an indigenous resistance movement confronting settler colonialism, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing, and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.”

Arizona State University Professor David Boyles—who <a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queer-joy-summer-planting-3-promote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, “Sex education is a topic I’ve been obsessed with for a while”—appeared to physically assault a Turning Point USA Frontlines cameraman.  

TPUSA’s Frontlines team confronted Boyles after <a href="https://azfreenews.com/2023/09/meet-the-asu-professor-behind-arizonas-drag-queen-story-hour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">learning</a> that he founded the Arizona chapter of Drag Queen Story Hour. Boyles refused to respond to the Frontlines reporter who asked how long he’d had the obsession with sex education and why he felt children should be exposed to drag queens.

The video of Boyles assaulting the cameraman can be viewed below:

“Boyles established Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona in 2019, a chapter of the national Drag Queen Story Hour organization…Boyles has been featured in several ‘The Art of Drag’ events alongside one of his drag queen storytellers…The most recent event occurred on Wednesday [September 20, 2023].  During the <a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presentation</a>, Boyles said that the notion that drag shows are harmful to children was a ‘myth.’ He also said that drag queens have been long considered the leaders of LGBTQ+ communities.”

During “<a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Art of Drag</a>” talk, Boyles claimed Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona has been “targeted by acts of violence” and “neo-Nazis showing up to disrupt events.” He also presented what he believed to be the beginning of drag culture in America using the newspaper clip featured below:

“Sex education is a topic I’ve been obsessed with for a while…In 2021, I did a three-part ‘<a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queering-sex-ed-part-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queering Sex Ed</a>’ series on the history of sex education in America and the ways in which it has traditionally erased queer people, as well as the ways in which queer people have resisted this erasure and cared for their communities by creating their own sex ed underground.”

In the “Queer Sex Ed” blog, Boyles also wrote that sex education has been traditionally racist since “black people and immigrants were typically viewed as being sexually promiscuous and aggressive and sex education was designed to keep good white kids from being ‘infected’ by them.”

<a href="https://cronkite.asu.edu/about/faculty-and-leadership/faculty/gilgerbio">Kristin Gilger</a> is the Reynolds Professor of Business Journalism and the interim dean at the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University (ASU). She is the author of the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theres-No-Crying-Newsrooms-Learned/dp/1538121492">“There’s No Crying in Newsrooms”</a> and has served in various roles at ASU since 2002.

Gilger has been mired in controversy since assuming her role as dean this past summer. The previous candidate, Sonya Forte Duhe, was replaced by Gilger after <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/after-tweet-supporting-good-police-officers-arizona-state-revokes-journalism-dean-offer/">her offer was rescinded by the university</a>. After tweeting an image that was considered too positive towards police officers, Duhe was condemned by university faculty for showing “poor judgment.”

Gilger has come under fire after pressuring Rae’Lee Klein, a senior journalism major, and station manager for ASU’s Blaze radio, to resign from her position after <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/this-is-why-jacob-blake-had-a-warrant-out-for-his-arrest/?preview_id=16209831">tweeting and soon deleting a New York Post article</a> detailing the warrant issued for Jacob Blake’s arrest;

“Always more to the story, folks. Please read this article to get to the background of Jacob Blake’s warrant. You’ll be quite disgusted“ 

Blake—who was wanted for sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend—was shot in the back by police after resisting arrest and allegedly reaching for a knife on the floor of his car.

Facing immediate backlash for her tweet, the Board of Directors at the station <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/18/arizona-student-journalist-cancelled-over-jacob-blake-tweet/">voted unanimously to remove her from her position</a>. Later releasing a statement, the board announced that “Blaze Radio firmly believes that Black Lives Matter.”

“The board gave Klein an opportunity to step down under her own will. As of the time of this statement, Klein has not made the decision to resign…In light of this, we do not recognize Rae'Lee Klein as the station manager of Blaze Radio.”  

Gilger has claimed that the University is not moving to remove Klein. In a statement to the New York Post, Gilger stated that Klein is not being targeted by the university for her views.

“Any actions that are unfolding are not punishment for a tweet. I have been clear with Rae’Lee that she would not be removed as station manager of Blaze Radio, a student internet radio station, because of the views she expressed,”  

However, in email exchanges between Klein and Gilger, she did in fact act to pressure Klein to resign, contrary to her statement.

In their exchange (pictured below) Gilger clearly states that Klein remaining in her position, “is not an option,” as she had lost the confidence of the board.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-909" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.18.44-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="366" />

&nbsp;

Although suggesting new roles that Klein may assume, Gilger cites the "Media Guidelines for Student Journalists" to warn her to refrain in the future from posting information “that could call into question your ability to act independently as a journalist.” This seems to contradict Gilger’s claim that Klein was not being targeted by the university for her views.

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-910" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.24.32-PM.png" alt="" width="317" height="500" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-911 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-4.51.32-PM-1-e1601512111513.png" alt="" width="339" height="642" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-912 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.27.15-PM.png" alt="" width="342" height="540" />

&nbsp;

At this time, Klein has refused to step down from her role, and officially remains the station’s manager.

Update: In February of 2021, Klein announced that she <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/college-pays-settlement-conservative-student-ousted-manager-role/">has reached a settlement with Gilger</a> over a lawsuit she had filed against ASU several months prior.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
UPDATE: I am happy to announce we've reached a resolution with Arizona State University for events that took place in September. With the support of my attorney, Jack Wilenchik, and countless other individuals, I am proud to have stood up, fought back and eventually, won.

<a href="https://cisa.asu.edu/node/7955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asao Inoue</a> is a professor and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Equity and Inclusion in the College of Integrative Science and Arts at Arizona State University. According to his University biography, Inoue’s <a href="https://cisa.asu.edu/node/7955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research</a> focuses on “antiracist and social justice theory and practices in writing assessments.”

Prior to his role at Arizona State, Inoue served as the Director of the Writing Center at the University of Washington-Tacoma. As Daily Caller <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/02/20/college-writing-center-declares-american-grammar-a-racist-unjust-language-structure/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a>, Inoue <a href="\&quot;https://stjenglish.com/standing-against-racism-in-the-field-of-writing-dr-asao-inoue-uw-tacoma/\&quot;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commissioned</a> an anti-racist poster in an effort to ensure that his staff did not “embrace racist practices.” Inoue maintains that racism is embedded in the English language as well as in society itself, writing that “racism is the normal condition of things.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1502 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T135650.565-e1628629052457-1024x391.png" alt="" width="580" height="221" />

According to the text of the poster, recorded by The College Fix, Inoue writes that his goal is to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-writing-center-combats-racist-unjust-language-structures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help students become more critical of “unjust language structures”</a> in order to succeed in what Inoue claims is a racist society.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1501 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T135356.265-e1628628890970-1024x296.png" alt="" width="580" height="168" />

Inoue would later author a book on his beliefs titled, “Labor-Based Grading Contracts: Building Equity and Inclusion in the Compassionate Writing Classroom.” In an excerpt from the book, Inoue declares that he focuses on grading students for their efforts, and not the “quality” of their writing.

“This book focuses on one kind of grading contract, one that calculates final course grades purely by the labor students complete, not by any judgments of the quality of their writing.”

As Daily Wire reports, Inoue writes that his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arizona-state-dean-grading-writing-based-on-quality-is-racist-promotes-white-language-supremacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beliefs and teaching practices are based on “critical-race theory,” or “labor-based theory.”</a>As Breitbart documents, c<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ritical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism</a> that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy.

He writes further that grading students only perpetuates white supremacy.

“The traditional purposes and methods used for grading writing turn out to be de facto racist and White supremacist….Grading by a standard, thus, is how White language supremacy is perpetuated in schools”

Inoue also draws an analogy between issuing grades for English and the institution of slavery, stating that grading is a “slave-making mechanism.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1504 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T140031.897-e1628629269866-1024x317.png" alt="" width="580" height="180" />

Inoue believes that even the physical proximity of white people causes racism. In a YouTube video of Inoue speaking before the 2019 Convention of the National Council of Teachers of English, Inoue <a href="https://youtu.be/brPGTewcDYY?t=994" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states that even the presence of white people “perpetuates racism.</a>”

&nbsp;

Inoue delivered this speech while <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serving as the Conference Chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication</a>, which bills itself as the <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">largest professional organization for researching and teaching writing composition</a>. It is the annual conference of the National Council of Teachers of English, which <a href="https://ncte.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasts over 25,000 English and Language Arts teachers as members all over the country</a>.

<a href="https://isearch.asu.edu/profile/597528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lorraine Moya Salas</a> is an Instructor in the <a href="https://socialwork.asu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Social Work</a> at <a href="https://campus.asu.edu/dohttps://campus.asu.edu/downtown-phoenixwntown-phoenix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona State University - Downtown Phoenix</a>.

During a lecture in one of her courses—titled, “Foundations of Social Work”—Dr. Lorraine can be heard describing the United States as a “white supremacist system,” that was founded for the benefit of white people at the expense of Native Americans and people of color.

In the class—recorded and provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—Dr. Salas urges her students to confront the “implicit biases” present in themselves and American society. Claiming that stereotypes and prejudices construct implicit bias, she warns that unconscious actions can cause serious harm.

Attempting to provide an example to bolster her claim, Dr. Salas states that implicit bias causes doctors to act as if their black patients are slaves. She proceeds to cite a study that claims doctors give less pain medication to black patients as compared to white ones.

Dr. Salas alleges this is the product of the legacy of slavery; slave owners viewed blacks as subhuman and able to withstand a large amount of pain, so therefore doctors continue to believe that blacks can withstand a large amount of pain. Doctors will therefore prescribe black patients less pain medication.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_updated.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_2.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.

Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.

Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

&nbsp;

In the accompanying slides, Dr. Salas cites Critical Race Theory to define white supremacy as a, “political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level”.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1692 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3b-SelfAwarenessAndRaceEthnitiy-student-copy.pptx-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="326" />

&nbsp;

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes in Breitbart News</a>, Critical Race Theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy—to the point of some, including <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

Dr. Salas had previously published a paper on critical theory, titled, “Critical Theory: Pathway from Dichotomous to Integrated Social Work Practice.” In it, she urges social <a href="https://socialwork.rutgers.edu/file/4791/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">workers to embrace critical theory in order to accomplish social justice</a> “at all levels of practice.”

Dr. Salas further states that while people of color can hold prejudiced views, they cannot be racist as they have no institutional power in a system that values whiteness. She urges white students in the class to be “allies” in order to help minorities access the resources available to them by way of “white privilege.”

The full audio of the lecture is provided below.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Salas prior for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

In 2019, Cooper founded the “<a href="https://katelyncooper1.wixsite.com/bioedlab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cooper Biology Education Research Lab</a>” because she, as a gay woman, was “worried about biology research not being inclusive enough of “LGBTQ+ people,” according to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/inclusive-lab-for-lgbt-students-created-by-arizona-state-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College Fix. </a>

Cooper is “upset that heterosexual white [men] dominate the biological sciences.” She told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/nbc-out-proud/professor-making-biology-education-inclusive-lgbtq-undergrads-rcna28813" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> that “The goal isn’t just to make classrooms more inclusive, she explained, but to bring more diversity to a field that has traditionally been dominated by straight white men.” 

Cooper also told NBC News her hopes for collegiate science education: “Cooper said science educators can make their classrooms more inclusive by being openly supportive of LGBTQ students.” According to Cooper, “Educators can, for example, put an inclusivity statement on their syllabus or website, foster safe environments for students to reveal their LGBTQ identities and familiarize themselves with on-campus LGBTQ resources in case students come to them for support.”

Fahs, who holds a PhD in clinical psychology and women's studies from the University of Michigan, came to this conclusion after she conducted an experiment in which all 20 of her subjects "expressed terror at the thought of suddenly gaining 100 pounds."

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/2193787" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abby Loebenberg</a> is a Barrett Honors Faculty Fellow at Arizona State University. Her faculty profile says she “teaches a range of classes and seminars on urban spaces and landscape, architecture, cities, and…play and game studies.”

Loebenberg is one of 34 professors who signed a written statement addressed to Tara Williams, the Dean of ASU’s Barrett Honors College.

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/291312" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashad Shabazz</a> is an Associate Professor of African American Studies in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University (ASU). Shabazz’s university profile says his “academic expertise brings together human geography, black cultural studies, gender studies, and critical prison studies.” He also holds a Ph.D. in History of Consciousness from the University of California-Santa Cruz.

Shabazz teaches several race-based courses including “<a href="https://webapp4.asu.edu/bookstore/viewsyllabus/2227/88026">AFR301:</a> Race and Racism in the Black Diaspora.” The course description says, 

“Through slave rebellion in Haiti, black notions of freedom, black ideas of ‘being,’ and what on thinker calls ‘black reason,’ this class aims to show that race and racism is more than a tapestry of dominion, but…a reservoir of revolutionary ideas that…transform the world.”

In response to the killing of Tyre Nichols - a black man who was arrested and beaten and later died in the custody of black police officers - Shabazz <a href="https://theconversation.com/black-police-officers-arent-colorblind-theyre-infected-by-the-same-anti-black-bias-as-american-society-and-police-in-general-198721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> in The Conversation entitled, “Black police officers aren’t colorblind–they’re infected by the same anti-black bias as American society and police in general.”

In the article, Shabazz argued, “Policing in the U.S. has, from its inception, treated Black people as domestic enemies. From slave patrols…to the murder of George Floyd, and now the death of Nichols, law enforcement officers often have viewed black people as what…W.E.B. Du Bois called a ‘problem.’”

He continued, “It’s hard to investigate the minds of the officers who beat Nichols so savagely and say for sure what motivated them. But there is ample research that suggests anti-blackness is a factor in American policing. And black officers, agents of an institutionally racist system, are affected by this.”

The article goes on to say that McCall was the only African-American student to earn a doctorate in music education from ASU. McCall also reportedly said that she feels she can offer “an informed perspective based on experience and expertise” that can optimize K-12 learning experiences.

In July 2022, McCall was featured in a <a href="https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/critical-race-theory-music-education/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Classic FM article</a> titled, “Music professor breaks down [CRT] and why it’s crucial for 21st-century music education.” McCall told the publication:

“‘[CRT] is a tool that was conceptualized and born out of critical legal studies as a means to analyze, critique and to help dismantle racism…Even though…we like to think of ourselves as being more progressive and more innovative…When you look at a university curriculum in America, it gives you a really nice snapshot of Western Europe.’”

She informs readers of her experiences as an “African American in music education…whose structures and social actors attempted to silence [her] voice.” Although McCall experienced notable success and received much encouragement throughout her pursuits, she wrote: 

“Despite my professors and peers at ASU ensuring me that I was in a safe place, I didn’t believe it because I knew that outside of ASU, society viewed my voice differently and that the profession did not want to hear what I had to say. These were my perceptions…”

In 2016, Sampson <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13613324.2020.1842346?scroll=top&amp;needAccess=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">co-authored</a> “Engaging (or not) in coalition politics: a case study of Black and Latinx community advocacy toward educational equity.” In the abstract notes, Sampson et al. state: 
“We use ‘Latinx’ as a gender-neutral reference to the people of Latin-American heritage. To not negate gendered experiences, we use Latino/Latina, or Chicano/a when acknowledging individuals or past research identifying with these gendered identities … Although both ‘Black’ and ‘Latinx’ are politicized categories, we recognize the reality of the identities are diverse, intersecting, and fluid.”
In an article titled “Over 1,200 ‘Educators for Palestine’ Sign Open Letter Demanding Ceasefire,” <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/over-a-thousand-educators-for-palestine-sign-open-letter-demanding-ceasefire/#:~:text=Hundreds%20of%20academics%20from%20universities,has%20killed%20more%20than%2011%2C000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truthout</a> gave a biased account of a statement signed by several university professors, including Sampson. The statement was crafted after the October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel. 

Truthout said, “Hundreds of academics from universities and institutions of higher learning from … across North America have signed on to a joint letter, calling on their governments to demand Israeli ceasefire in Gaza … The signers, calling themselves ‘Educators for Palestine,’ are Palestinian academics and their allies who denounce Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

The <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BA7ddNwiUF9ns3zJK3t-nrTpn8R4s3ZB_wbZstAo2iY/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter Sampson signed</a> states, in part:
“We have paid careful attention to consistent invocations of children in public officials’ responses to and media portrayals of the attack in Israel on October 7, which took 1400 lives. We mourn this loss of life, and we are also struck by the ways that this concern for children does not extend to the unspeakable number of Palestinian children’s lives taken by Israeli state violence, harmed by apartheid rule, and traumatized by intergenerational experiences of settler colonial dispossession for over [75] years.”

 “‘I wasn’t a good fit for the ‘SportsCenter’ culture. Definitely not a good fit for the management that was overseeing the ‘SportsCenter’ at the time. And I got tired. I got really tired of fighting everyday to be myself … It’s the conservative culture at ESPN and so this idea that ESPN is being run by flower children is just a lie. That’s not how it is. It’s the opposite, if anything … 
‘Once critics started seeing my face … then suddenly ESPN is too liberal because what they’re really trying to say is ‘Oh, y’all must be liberal-leaning because you got all these women and all these [b]lack people who are suddenly on my TV everyday.’”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/4399703" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shannon Portillo</a> is a Professor and the Director of the School of Public Affairs at Arizona State University. According to Portillo’s biography, “Her work helps scholars and practitioners understand how inequities are institutionalized in public organizations … [She also] served as co-chair of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly’s Commission on Racial Equity and Justice.”

Portillo’s <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Kw7ABu8AAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published works</a> include topics such as “Social Equity,” “Law &amp; Society,” and “Street-Level Bureaucracy.” She co-authored a paper entitled “<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advancing Social Equity in the Minnowbrook Tradition</a>,” which discussed the “goals of valuing social equity and using it as a guide in managing public programs.” 

In her work, Portillo refers to a meeting called Minnowbrook I that took place following the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. According to the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnowbrook 50 Social Equity Manifesto</a>, “[A] group of public administration scholars met to reflect on the implications of the social and environmental circumstances for [their] discipline … [Their] call to action … focused on ways to intersect and integrate social equity in the research, teaching, and practice of public administration.”
In the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnowbrook paper,</a> Portillo et al. wrote:
“In 40 years since Minnowbrook I, the concern for social equity has grown to the point where it now occupies a firm place within the academy … However, despite its growth and general acceptance as a core area of research and concern, evidence of gross societal inequities in the United States and the global community abound.”
Portillo was featured in the <a href="https://news.ku.edu/news/article/2022/02/17/public-administration-should-consider-effects-whiteness-masculinity-well-representation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KU News article</a> titled “Public administration should consider effects of whiteness, masculinity as well as presentation, researchers say,” where she offered her perspective on gender and racial discrimination in the industry.

Portillo states that during President Woodrow Wilson’s term, a push for segregation led to discrimination and the “normalization of white men in bureaucratic roles.” Any truth in this statement is neutralized by her contradictory claim that “[w]hite men have been in charge pretty much forever,” and, at the same time, “[w]e need more empirical evidence” to know whether white men in leadership have helped or harmed professional communities.

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/4219914" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lydia HaRim Ahn</a> is an Assistant Professor in Counseling and Counseling Psychology at Arizona State University. According to her university profile, Ahn’s academic interests include the following:

“1) examining the detrimental effects of racism and oppression on marginalized communities with an emphasis on within group differences, 2) developmental protective and risk factors between racism and health outcomes with a focus on ethnic-racial socialization and parenting, and 3) enhancing positive psychological outcomes and change through psychotherapy, evidence-based videos, and prevention and intervention programming.” 
In February, Ahn and Thomas P. Le co-wrote an <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Asian American Women’s Racial Dating Preferences: An Investigation of Internalized Racism, Resistance and Empowerment against Racism, and Desire for Status.” In the abstract for the article, the authors state their purpose for writing it: 
“To further understand racialized desire among this underrepresented population, the present study examined the extent to which three sociocultural factors (i.e., internalized racism, resistance and empowerment against racism, and desire for status) were associated with two attraction outcome variables (i.e., dating preferences, physical attraction) across four racial categories of men: Asian men, Black men, Latino men, and White men.” 
They claim the factors of “internalized racism, resistance and empowerment against racism, and desire for status” have caused Asian American women to have a “stronger dating preference toward White men and weaker dating preference and physical attraction to Asian men.”  

In a section of the article titled “Internalized Racism,” the authors address their research on male dating preferences based on race. Focusing on Asian American women, the authors state that the demographic faces “gendered racial microaggressions and model minority stereotypes that produce internalized racism.” They then focus on the differences between Asian and white men with regard to Asian women and dating: 
“Asian American women have reported a desire to date White men for the sake of economic security, as well as to assimilate into White American society, even if their White male partners engaged in racial fetishization of Asian women (Nemoto, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR50" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2006</a>). This preference may promote stereotypes of Asian American men as undesirable and perpetually foreign (Wong &amp; McCullough, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021</a>) and Black and Latino men as inferior to white men (Cascalheira &amp; Smith, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020</a>). Furthermore, Asian American women face gendered racism (Gamst et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR15" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023</a>), or experiences of discrimination that are based upon the intersections of their race and gender, which contributes to their disempowerment and negative self-worth within the United States (Ahn et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022</a>).”
The authors conclude their study:
“Overall, our findings highlight how Asian American women’s romantic and intimate desires may be shaped by internalized racism, resistance and empowerment, and desire for social status. Asian American women face gendered racial microaggressions and model minority stereotypes that produce internalized racism (Ahn et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022</a>; Juang et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018</a>; Wei et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR68" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2008</a>).”

Lober also serves as the director of ASU’s Academy of Lactation Programs and the clinical research director at Banner University Medical Center–Phoenix.

During an ASU presentation in March 2023, Lober pointed out that part of the Lactation Programs vision is to “normalize breastfeeding and human milk feeding as an act of social justice and health promotion.”

According to The Fix, “Lober opened the one-hour moderated discussion by stating she ‘got into this space because the United States hates women and everything the female body does.’” 

The School Board Watchlist did not uncover the original audio from the event. However, <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/cannibalism-forced-breeding-professors-fearmonger-abortion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Live Action </a>pointed out:
“Lober also argued that she is discouraging her children from having children, and said the decline in birth rates is a good thing—because the planet is overpopulated. Yet, ironically, the ASU <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events page</a> states that Lober’s ‘research is focused on establishing lactation and breastfeeding as a public health imperative’ and that she ‘is dedicated to working for a better world for families’...How, exactly does not create a better world for families or better health for children by encouraging abortion?”
Conservative lawyer and journalist, Jonathan Turley, <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2024/09/01/the-united-states-hates-women-asu-event-offers-dystopian-anti-capitalist-vision-of-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mentioned</a> Lober in an article titled “‘The United States Hates Women’: ASU Event Offer Dystopian, Anti-Capitalist Vision of America.” Reflecting on Lober’s resolution for a future America without abortion, Turley said she called for the audience “to help ‘dismantle capitalism’ and ‘elect a female president.’”

Since the event, Lober has not commented publicly on her role in the conversation with Irish. Based on mainstream media reactions, both professors are committed to espousing anti-American and anti-family values.

The KJZZ host asked Irish to comment on her “associations” with the King novel “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Carrie-Stephen-King/dp/1984898108/ref=asc_df_1984898108/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=692875362841&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=14364719003284224040&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9061155&amp;hvtargid=pla-2281435178818&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=d9f4354e402c38979d3d64dbfc2a5893&amp;hvocijid=14364719003284224040-1984898108-&amp;hvexpln=73" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrie</a>”—the story of a high school outcast with telekinetic powers who eventually murders her bullying classmates by setting the town on fire. 

Irish responded to the interviewer stating:
“‘Carrie’ is amazing in the fact that [it] was written 50 years ago, but there’s so much about it that feels pretty tragically contemporary. If Carrie White had had access to a decent sex ed class, the town of Chamberlain, Maine, would still be standing…[I]t’s not hard to think about that in the midst I feel of our current kind of sociopolitical moment, where there’s such an assault on bodily autonomy and considerations of the rights of people to define their own identity and their own bodies and their relationships to them.”
On August 30, 2024, Irish was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-s-hates-women-faces-future-of-cannibalism-forced-breeding-camps-asu-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> entitled “U.S. ‘hates women,’ faces future of cannibalism, ‘forced breeding campus’: ASU event.” In <a href="https://lincolncenter.asu.edu/wb-workshop-HATCH" target="_blank" rel="noopener">partnership</a> with ASU Professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angelalober" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Lober</a>, Irish <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted an event</a> centered on releasing her new book “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hatch/9sHtEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;printsec=frontcover">Hatch</a>,” a collection of prose poems exploring the future of the human race surviving through AI.

According to <a href="https://nupress.northwestern.edu/9780810146969/hatch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern University Press</a>:
“The prose poems in Jenny Irish’s newest collection, Hatch, trace the consciousness of an artificial womb that must confront the role she has played in the continuation of the dying of the human species. This apocalyptic vision engages with the most pressing concerns of this contemporary sociopolitical moment: reproductive rights, climate crises, and mass extinction; gender and racial bias in healthcare technology…and the possibilities and dangers of artificial intelligence.”
In the following excerpt, Irish appears to describe an abortion from the artificial womb’s perspective.

The Professor Watchlist did not recover any original video of the “Hatch” presentation.

He teaches courses focused on philosophy, morality, and religion. As a Christian in a secular institution, Dr. Anderson has been subjected to discrimination and exclusion by the college. 

On September 20, 2024, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix featured</a> Anderson in an article titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” Quoting Dr. Anderson’s phone interview, the Fix wrote:
“If a class does not have a general education designation, most students won’t enroll and his college will be hesitant to offer it because it won’t attract many students.” 
Dr. Anderson’s Intro to Christianity class was canceled because he said ASU “[doesn’t] want it taught from a Christian perspective.” He provided The Fix with a member from ASU <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/juliasarreal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor Julia Sarreal</a> who said, “The syllabus reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kids of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need.”

In an <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/asus-dr-owen-anderson-warns-of-new-policies-threatening-academic-freedom">interview with Turning Point USA</a>, Dr. Anderson stated that he, and his colleagues, were asked to “decolonize” their course syllabi. He described decolonization according to ASU’s definition:
“Decolonize means you become aware of any Western, and especially Christian, influences in your syllabus, and you replace those with what they would call ‘Indigenous people’s perspectives.’ Decolonizing comes out of a communist philosophy…It’s a political philosophy that’s being adopted by ASU to push on the students.”
During the interview, Dr. Anderson also said since he teaches world religions and philosophies, he believes his courses are culturally diverse, therefore, his lesson plans don’t need to be revised.

On March 19, 2024, Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Complaint-Final-with-exhibits.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a complaint</a> with the Arizona Board of Regents after ASU mandated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training for faculty and staff members. In <a href="https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/case/dismantling-asus-discriminatory-dei-regime/">partnership</a> with the Goldwater Institute, he brought the lawsuit to prohibit the college from using race, ethnicity, or sex—which goes against state and federal laws—to hire and retain employees.

In a June 18 <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/06/my-university-required-dei-training-im-suing/">opinion editorial</a> titled “My University Required DEI Training. I’m Suing,” Dr. Anderson wrote:
“I’m in favor of each of those terms: Diversity…equity…and inclusion…are undoubtedly good things. But when I began the mandatory training, I found something troubling: It engaged in race blaming, warning of the supposed ‘problem’ of whiteness and encouraged judgment of people based on their skin color. I could not, in good conscience, continue such racist training.”
Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/asus-dr-owen-anderson-warns-of-new-policies-threatening-academic-freedom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> TPUSA that he believes these cultural shifts occurred as a result of ASU’s evolving definition of “multiculturalism,” which he also said, “caused respect for Christians to deteriorate on campus.”

Published - September 23, 2024
On January 27, Professor Anderson <a href="https://crossexamined.org/a-guide-to-choosing-a-humanities-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> “A Guide To Choosing a Humanities Professor” for Cross Examined. 

In the guide, Anderson listed a series of qualities and defects found in humanities professors throughout the U.S. that should be sought after or avoided by students. Overall, he says students should pursue a degree that prepares them for life and teaches them to be wise.

Anderson wrote:
“Many professors in these classes don’t know how to teach what is good or what it means to be wise.”
He then explains the purpose of a humanities degree:
“But what about a degree in the humanities? How does it prepare you for life? To do so it would have to teach you what is good for a human life.”
According to Anderson, a humanities degree encourages students to learn and gain wisdom and reach the highest good in life:
“Wisdom is understanding the highest good and knowing how to live your life in a way that helps you reach the good. What is good for a person depends on human nature…The highest good is the ultimate goal we aim for in everything we do. We might have smaller goals along the way, but those are just steps toward something greater. ”
For Anderson, seeking the knowledge of God is an endeavor to reach the highest good that should be embedded into a humanities program:
“Most philosophers agree that the ultimate good for a human is to know God. Thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Descartes, and Locke all point to this idea in their work, even if they describe it in different ways. Even philosophers who don’t use the word “God” often still believe that knowing the highest reality—whatever they call it—is what makes life truly good for a person.”
Anderson cautions students to avoid skeptics and nihilists, ask professors what they believe is good, and find a professor who knows what is good. 

“These three steps will help you determine if a professor is wise and capable of teaching you wisdom,” Anderson wrote.

Even if professors who fit Anderson’s criteria cannot be found, the professor concluded with the following consolation:

“The good news is that you can still graduate without taking their classes.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/1429800" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Sarreal</a> is a Professor in the School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies at Arizona State University. Sarreal’s research interests include Latin American Studies, Food, Drugs, and Capitalism. Her top area of expertise is “Consumerism.”

On September 20, 2024, Sarreal was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” The piece covers the cancelation of <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/drowenanderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Dr. Owen Anderson’s</a> religious studies course. 

After the college rejected his class, it was revealed that Sarreal objected to the premise of Christianity being taught on campus. The Fix recorded her comments:

“The <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/771107095/REL-270-Introduction-to-Christianity-ASU-Dr-Owen-Anderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">syllabus</a> reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kinds of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need to have in order to study religious traditions.”

“Furthermore, the focus on ‘Western Civilization’ is problematic. It is true that Christianity has been ‘influential’ in European history, it has also been deeply influential elsewhere in ways that are completely ignored in the syllabus.” 

Based on the feedback Sarreal received from Dr. Anderson, it appears she either did not read the syllabus or chose to interpret the lesson plans through an objectionable lens. Sarreal specifically described one of the modules as being “focused on ‘the’ biblical worldview” and called this a “fraught oversimplification.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/3924315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ruben Espinosa</a> is Professor of English and Director of the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Arizona State University (ASU). According to his faculty profile, Espinosa’s studies are chiefly focused on the work of William Shakespeare. 

On September 16, 2024, ASU’s <a href="https://humanitiesinstitute.asu.edu/events" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Humanities Institute</a> hosted a panel with Espinosa and Professor Curtis Austin on cultural appropriation concerning the plays of Shakespeare. The <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/arizona-state-u-scholars-condemn-white-ownership-of-shakespeare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">event</a> is described by the university as such: 
“What constitutes cultural appropriation, and when is it unethical? Should we adopt voices beyond our own, and if so then what factors must be weighed beforehand?”
“Pressing on hard research questions may lead to ethical dilemmas of how to speak in relation to another. This panel will discuss what it means to think, research, and write across cultures and ways of being.”  
In an audio recording of a l<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/arizona-state-u-scholars-condemn-white-ownership-of-shakespeare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ecture</a> obtained by the College Fix, Espinosa connected the alleged “white exceptionalism” of January 6 rioters U.S. Capitol protesters to Shakespeare. These two are both claimed to be symbols of “white exceptionalism” and “racial hierarchy.” The professor stated:

“It kind of has this origin in anti-immigrant sentiments, right, all the way to January 6th, when we think about that white exceptionalism, and this notion of a kind of white ownership of Shakespeare.”
Espinosa believes that “Shakespeare is the epitome or the marker of white exceptionalism” and sits at the top of the “racial hierarchy.” Thereby, he attached the poet to “whiteness” exclusively over humanity independent of race. 

In 2021, Espinosa published a book titled “<a href="https://www.routledge.com/Shakespeare-on-the-Shades-of-Racism/Espinosa/p/book/9780367183004">Shakespeare on the Shades of Racism</a>.” The publisher’s description states:
“Shakespeare on the Shades of Racism examines Shakespeare in relation to ongoing conversations that interrogate the vulnerability of Black and brown people amid oppressive structures that aim to devalue their worth. By focusing on the way these individuals are racialized, politicized, policed, and often violated in our contemporary world, it casts light on dimensions of Shakespeare’s work that afford us a better understanding of our ethical responsibilities in the face of such brutal racism.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/1256527" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lela Rankin</a> is a professor in the Arizona State University School of Social Work, Tucson. According to her faculty profile, “Rankin’s scholarship focuses on preventive interventions for children and families, particularly in vulnerable populations.”

According to a January report from the <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/maternal-instinct-is-socially-constructed-myth-arizona-state-u-professor-says/">College Fix</a>, in a lecture Rankin claimed that the maternal instinct is a fabricated myth with no biological reality. 

“[T]his idea of this maternal instinct, it struck me as potentially problematic because it really places the primacy on biological mothers, and then it relegates other people…to essentially secondary babysitters or assistants, right?”

The claims in this lecture are based on  research that can be found in a <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0277953624006257#:~:text=We%20did%20not%20find%20empirical,knowledge%20strengthened%20attachment%20over%20time." target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> Rankin co-authored with Haley G. Krouskop b, Maryanne L. Fisher.

In the study, titled “Mother-infant attachment from the perspective of young mothers: Does the data support a maternal instinct?,” the authors claim the following:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We did not find empirical evidence to support an innate maternal instinct.•</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Young mothers' qualitative experiences with attachment at birth were diverse.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Physical touch-based parenting and parental stress impacted the bonding experience.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Reciprocity and parenting confidence/knowledge strengthened attachment over time.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Mothers developed an “instinct” through repetitive interactions with their infant.”</li>
</ul>
Further addressing the above points, the authors find that no maternal instinct is inherent during the processes of pregnancy and childbirth; rather, a mother infant connection is developed after birth during childcare:

“Despite diverse experiences with felt attachment at birth, all mothers perceived that the mother-infant connection was influenced by contextual factors after birth and was strengthened over time with more care-taking experience. ​​This suggests that mothers likely developed a ‘maternal instinct’ through repetitive interaction with their infant as the primary caretaker rather than a genetic predisposition to be superior nurturing parents.”

In the article’s conclusion, the authors maintain that caregiving and nurturing behaviors are a necessity and should be present during pregnancy or right at childbirth. They cite British psychoanalyst John Bowlby’s concept of attachment theory, among other theorists, in an attempt to backup their claims:  

“If mothers possess an innate instinct for the purposes of bonding, breastfeeding, and other caregiving behaviors… then arguably this instinct should be felt during pregnancy or at childbirth.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/970381" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sally L. Kitch</a> is a professor in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. 

According to her faculty profile, Kitch “specializes in three major research and teaching areas: 
<ol>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“[F]eminist theory, including the intellectual history of gender and racial ideology in the U.S. and other countries and the impact of gender representation in visual and narrative culture on the lived realities of diverse women's lives; </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">feminist epistemology, the epistemology of the humanities, and theories of interdisciplinary knowledge production; </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">environmental humanities, including the importance of the humanities to sustainability science and the relationship of sustainability to gender and racial ideologies.”  </li>
</ol>
In the aftermath of the US Supreme Court’s 2022 repeal of Roe v. Wade through the <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dobbs Decision</a>, Kitch wrote an <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/369989167_Reproductive_Rights_and_Ecofeminism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Reproductive Rights and Ecofeminism.” 

Ecofeminism is <a href="https://hcwc.college.harvard.edu/education/workshops/ecofeminism#:~:text=Ecofeminism%2C%20also%20called%20ecological%20feminism,merits%20of%20intuition%20and%20collaboration." target="_blank" rel="noopener">defined</a> as a practice using “the basic feminist tenets of gender equality, a revaluing of non-patriarchal or nonlinear structures, and a view of the world that respects organic processes, holistic connections, and the merits of intuition and collaboration.”

In the article, Kitch aligns herself with ecofeminism, and argues that the “Dobbs decision invites an ecofeminist interpretation of its relationship to the destruction of our planet and to the biopolitics of environmental sustainability.”

The professor claimed that there is a connection between the bodies of women, enslaved, disabled, and racialized people, along with animals and nature as “terrains” of conquest: 

“Ecofeminism in the 2020s links those forces by articulating ‘a clear connection between the treatment of the bodies of women, the enslaved, the disabled, and the racialized, and the treatment of lands, animals, and plants: they are all naturalized terrains of experimentation or conquest.”

The term “ecofascist” is used in the article a few times. Kitch’s cited <a href="https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/4-november-december/feature/eco-fascism-uncovered-el-paso-texas">source</a> defines the term as “violence in the name of environmental conservation.” Kitch further writes on “ecofascists”:

“Many ecofascists in the U.S. oppose action to reduce global warming by eliminating carbon emissions as an affront to white patriarchal/capitalist/colonial power, which allegedly emanates from industrial might and its key driver, fossil fuels (Hernandez-Simmons 2022; Westervelt 2022).”

Kitch is still listed on the ASU faculty site as an active professor, yet the <a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/970381" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last course</a> she taught was a practicum in 2022.

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/nadra-hebouche.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nadra Hebouche</a> is an Associate Professor of Francophone Studies and French and Department Chair of French,Francophone Studies at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. Her university profile states that she researches “Francophone postcolonial literature, migrant literature, diasporic identities, [and] ecocriticism.”
Hebouche was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 
Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”
The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”
The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 
They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.chatham.edu/academics/faculty/listing.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katie Cruger</a> is an Associate Professor of Communication and Affiliated Faculty of the Women’s Institute at Chatham University.
In October 2017, Cruger <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17404622.2017.1372602" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> describing the “feminist pedagogy” teaching techniques she utilizes in her classes. She claims that several of her students “seem to be experiencing a kind of feminism fatigue” and that they are “wary to admit that they could ever suffer at the hands (or be the instrument) of imperialism white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy.”
To fight this “fatigue,” Cruger used a feminist pedagogy tool called “challenge based learning,” in which she asked students to “identify a challenge related to inequality and identity in their community” and brainstorm potential solutions throughout the semester. Cruger said she found that students developed more “sophisticated, intersectional understandings of course concepts such as inequality and activism” when they used this tool.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/prof-boasts-fighting-feminist-fatigue-comms-classes/10024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Cruger stated:
“Many of the students disagree with the basic tenets of feminism. There’s a fatigue as well. For some students, the feeling is that we don’t need feminism anymore because we’re ‘better’ now.”
Campus Reform writes:
“Moreover, she said, focusing on privilege and power can be helpful for students, regardless of what field they major in, noting that ‘even in courses on communications theory, we try to bring in examples of how differences in the way we communicate, parse out in forms of maintaining oppression and equity.’” 
Cruger also shared her concerns that the ways professors historically teach decision making and negotiation help perpetuate male privilege.
“If there is a system in which we are trying to teach students about negotiation and decision making, and we’ve got this very patriarchal model—you go in, pummel the other person into submission, then you’ve won—then we’re reifying things that are wrong with this world.”

<a href="https://www.hhh.umn.edu/directory/christina-ewig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christina Ewig</a> is a Professor of Public Affairs and Faculty Director of the Center on Women, Gender and Public Policy at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. According to her university profile, Ewig teaches courses on Gender and Public Policy. She is also a curator for the <a href="https://www.hhh.umn.edu/directory/christina-ewig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender Policy Report</a> at the University of Minnesota.
Among Ewig’s academic interests are “gender, race and Latin American social policy including the historical formation of Latin American social policy; the politics and effects of market-oriented social policy reforms following economic adjustment in the 1990s and 2000s; and the more recent shift toward more generous and equitable social policies.”
Ewig’s <a href="https://www.hhh.umn.edu/directory/christina-ewig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X profile</a> biography states, “I tweet about Gender and Politics, US and Latin America.” She goes by the pronouns of “She/her/hers.”
In an interview with <a href="https://www.genderjustice.us/its-time-to-invest-in-resilience-a-conversation-with-erin-maye-quade-and-dr-christina-ewig/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender Justice</a>, Ewig discussed masculinity and its relation to the actions of men amid national health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, stating:
“[For instance], hand washing – [they] do not do that, wash their hands. And part of this is like the idea – Well, I’m resilient, and I’m strong so I don’t need to do these things.”
She claims that this resistance to taking health measures such as washing hands “has been inculcated in our society among men and boys.”
Ewig discusses gender on an institutional level and how it allegedly affects the socioeconomic status of the United States: 
“So I think really gender also, the third level I would talk about is really the institutional level, the way in which gender over the long-term through a variety of different practices – structures our society, structures our economy, and that’s really where state and national policy makers can step in and try to generate policies that can address these disparities that we’re seeing, whether it is of disparities care work or whether it is also other disparities that we’re also seeing in the economy in particular, as a result of this crisis.”
Toward the end of the interview, Ewig claims that various health crises in America have shown certain “structural inequalities” within the nation:
“I think that if there’s one thing that this crisis is showing us, it is showing the degree to which we have deep, deep inequalities within this country whether gender or race or class, and it’s showing the damage that those inequalities are doing to our resilience long-term, so shoring up our resilience as a nation in terms of facing another crisis of this sort will require investment, instead of austerity.”

Wayne Bendickson, also known as <a href="https://cla.umn.edu/about/directory/profile/sisoka">Sisoka Duta</a>, is a Professor in Native American Studies at the University of Minnesota. Bendickson requires all of his students to pick a topic from a list, which includes ‘why Native American mascots should be banned from sports,’ and explain in the assignment why it is important. A counter-argument was not allowed.

<a href="https://cla.umn.edu/ais/people/faculty">Dr. Nick Estes</a> is an Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota. He is the founder of <a href="https://therednation.org/blog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Red Nation</a> blog and hosts a podcast with the same name. 

Dr. Estes has called for the dissolution of the United States, praised communism, and castigates white people. 

Referring to the United States as a settler colonial nation, Dr. Estes states that America is committed to the destruction of native Americans. In an article for The Guardian, Dr. Estes describes the country <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/apr/27/only-racist-ignorance-lets-rick-santorum-think-america-was-birthed-from-nothing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as a “white supremacist empire,” and a “savage nation built on untold violence” against indigenous people</a>. 

“The erasure of Native histories and peoples – which existed long before and despite a white supremacist empire – is a founding principle of the United States. In fact, it’s still codified in US law.” 

Dr. Estes’s world views are encapsulated in The Red Nation’s <a href="https://therednation.org/10-point-program/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“10 Point Program,”</a> which calls for the following: 

- Return of all the nation’s land to the “original caretakers” or tribes, which would dissolve the United States. 

- Abolish all police, which Estes describes as “Indian killers” and the “foot soldiers of US occupation, racism, and misogyny.” 

- Abolish the “racist system” of capitalism.   

Dr. Estes elsewhere advocates for the total erasure of national borders. Among the demands listed on the “<a href="https://therednation.org/caucuses/beyond-borders-caucus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyond Border Caucus</a>”—which is hosted on The Red Nation’s website—Estes calls for abolishing all borders but specifically cites America and Israel for elimination. 

In a blog post titled, <a href="https://therednation.org/the-liberation-of-palestine-represents-an-alternative-path-for-native-nations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Liberation of Palestine Represents an Alternative Path for Native Nations,”</a> Dr. Estes urges his readers to support Arab “resistance in any and all forms” against Israel. This includes the adoption of the BDS movement, which embraces the following tenets: 

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel.

His post further demands the “Right of Return,” which calls for the forcible relocation of over 7 million self-identifying Palestinian “refugees” into Israel’s current borders. This would demographically swamp Israel and transform it into a majority-Arab state.  

Dr. Estes further cites <a href="https://therednation.org/revolutionary-socialism-is-the-primary-political-ideology-of-the-red-nation-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“revolutionary socialism</a>” as the “primary political ideology of the Red Nation.” He declares Communism the “greatest expression of love,” and promises that socialism will replace capitalism once the latter is destroyed. 

Throughout the site, the Hammer and Sickle is <a href="http://therednation.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">displayed prominently</a>. The symbol was the insignia of the Soviet Union, which was responsible for as many as <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-staggering-toll-of-the-russian-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">61 million deaths</a>.

Dr. Estes uses his personal Twitter account to denigrate white people as “pilgrims,”

J.B. Mayo is an Associate Professor in the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Minnesota. <a href="https://www.cehd.umn.edu/people/mayo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to Mayo’s university profile</a>, his interests include “LGBT and Queer Studies, teacher education, critical pedagogies, multicultural education, social justice, [the] intersectionality of race, gender, and sexual orientation.”

Mayo has taught a variety of courses. A few are listed below:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Multicultural Gender-Fair Curriculum</li>

 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Teaching Theory and Research</li>
</ul>
Mayo’s research also focuses on “how to bring LGBTQ histories into public school curriculums.” He has a variety of publications, including:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14681811.2015.1094944?journalCode=csed20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adults’ complicity in limiting students’ understanding of sex, gender and sexuality at school</a>. The commentary states that “Sexuality enters the classroom during school-sanctioned celebrations like Halloween, but is understood in distinct ways, gendered, and judged differently based upon enduring stereotypes of Latino women that are ever present in popular media (Boas, 91-104).”</li>
 	<li aria-level="1"><a href="https://pcssonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/SSJSpring2019-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Engaging two-spirit knowledge as a means to deconstruct the gender binary</a> (6-19). In this section, Mayo presents his research on gender and social studies. The design of this project is based on “two-spirit people” in the present tense, which Mayo and another colleague outlined in a 10-day social studies unit on gender. Back in 2017, this curriculum was taught throughout several classroom discussions. Additionally, the passage encourages educators to introduce and incorporate strategies, lessons and talks about gender issues, sexuality, and more. “We decided to include information about the various lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities as well, given our assumption that students would already bring this topic into the overall conversation with their questions.”</li>

Mayo argues “that the GSA advisor at Freedom High School utilized pedagogy that is critical at its core and led to effective, transformative learning outcomes for student GSA members. This pedagogy is characterized by students’ (a) access to information and issues that are important to queer youth, (b) participation in schoolwide and community-focused activities, and (c) reflections upon significant incidents in their lives when they encountered and responded to homophobia.”</li>

<a href="https://cla.umn.edu/about/directory/profile/yazzi014" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melanie Yazzie</a> is an Assistant Professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota. According to her university profile, she writes and teaches about numerous topics including “Indigenous feminisms,” “queer Indigenous studies,” and “Marxism.”

Yazzie participated in a December 2023 <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/professor-calls-dismantling-us-greatest-predator-empire-1855115" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel discussion</a> with fellow University of Minnesota professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nickestes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nick Estes</a> titled “From Minnesota to Palestine.” During the event, Yazzie <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professors-u-s-a-genocidal-settler-colonial-state-that-needs-to-be-dismantled/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called for people to “dismantle” and “decolonize” the United States</a>:
“And what we really want you to take away tonight … We’re all indigenous people who come from nations that are under occupation by the United States government. And of course, the U.S. bank rules the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. They’re one in the same, really.” 
“And so, it’s our responsibility as people who are within the United States to go as hard as possible to decolonize this place. Because that will reverberate all across the world. Because the U.S. is the greatest predator empire that has ever existed. So we want [the] U.S. out of everywhere … and the goal is to dismantle the settler project that is the United States.” 
Yazzie also argued that giving <a href="https://alphanews.org/u-of-m-professor-i-hope-you-seek-to-dismantle-the-united-states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">land back to Native Americans</a> is “non-negotiable” and “is going to happen.”
“The United States, also built on stolen land like the settler nation of Israel, does not have the authority to speak in this place and on this land. It is the Indigenous people, who belong to Indigenous nations that predate the advent of the United States and that will be here after the United States is gone, that have the authority.” 
The panel discussion was hosted by <a href="https://therednation.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Red Nation</a>, which, according to its website, is “dedicated to the liberation of Native peoples from capitalism and colonialism.” Estes is a co-founder of the organization and Yazzie hosts a podcast through The Red Nation called the Red Power Hour. The group’s Principles of Unity declare:
“We are anti-capitalist and anti-colonial. We are Indigenous feminists who believe in radical relationality. We do not seek a milder form of capitalism or colonialism - we demand an entirely new system premised on peace, cooperation, and justice. For our Earth and relatives to live, capitalism and colonialism must die.” 
When Yazzie was a PhD student at the University of New Mexico, she was outspoken against the school seal, which features a conquistador and a frontiersman. At a <a href="https://www.liberationnews.org/activists-speak-out-against-racist-seal-university-president-stands-with-racism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protest over the school seal</a> in 2016, Yazzie stated: “[Then-University of New Mexico President] Bob Frank you have blood on your hands! We are going to keep holding this university accountable until it concedes to our demands!”

<a href="https://directory.sph.umn.edu/bio/sph-a-z/rachel-hardeman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rachel Hardeman</a> is the Blue Cross Endowed Professor of Health and Racial Equity at the University of Minnesota. Hardeman’s university profile describes her as a “reproductive health equity researcher” who “leverages the frameworks of critical race theory and reproductive justice to inform her equity-centered work.” Hardeman is also the Founding Director of the Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity and serves on the Board of Directors for Planned Parenthood of the North Central States.

In October 2022, Hardeman and two other researchers penned an article titled “<a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2209737" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abortion Access as a Racial Justice Issue</a>.” The authors argue that abortion is “essential for protecting the full humanity of anyone with the capacity for pregnancy.” The paper claims that, within the United States, “the full humanity of Black and Indigenous people has long been denied.” Hardeman et al. conclude:
“We believe that clinicians have a professional obligation to champion policies that improve the lives of their patients and potential patients, including doing whatever is in their power to expand and protect abortion access. Abortion access is a racial justice issue, and it is today’s civil rights battle worthy of tenacious engagement by professionals in medicine, policy, and public health.” 
Hardeman co-developed a <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/black-birthing-people-course-offered-by-u-of-minn-planned-parenthood-board-member/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continuing education course</a> for health professionals titled “Dignity in Pregnancy &amp; Childbirth: Preventing Racial Bias in Perinatal Care.” The <a href="https://www.diversityscience.org/proven-elearning-2/minnesota-perinatal-care/#MN-Individual" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course website</a> says the goal is to give medical care providers the knowledge they need to ensure that “Black and Indigenous women and birthing people receive fully equitable patient-centered, respectful, high-quality care free of bias and discrimination.” Through the course:
“[H]ealthcare professionals have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the impact of structural racism on the health and healthcare of Black and Indigenous birthing people. They will learn strategies to interrupt institutional racism and racial bias and protect the health and well-being of Black and Indigenous mothers, birthing people, and infants.” 
One <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/684704097/Critical-Race-Practice-Clinicians-Guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handout</a> for the course discusses how clinical care providers can apply a “critical race lens to relationship-centered care in pregnancy and childbirth.”

&nbsp;

Hardeman <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/minnesota-professor-receives-800k-to-study-racialized-police-violence-and-pregnancy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received $800,000 in grant funding</a> to study “racialized police violence” and its association with “adverse reproductive health outcomes.” The project—titled “Community Events and Pathways to Inequities in Birth Outcomes”—has a timeline from April 2021 to March 2025 and promises to “[center] racism as a fundamental cause of health inequities.” Hardeman stated:
“The findings will offer a more complete picture of the ways that community trauma, structural racism, individual-level physical and mental health consequences, and population-level disparities affect reproductive health outcomes.” 
In December 2021, Hardeman authored a paper that <a href="https://pop.umn.edu/about/announcements/over-policing-linked-higher-odds-preterm-birth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">linked preterm births to “racist policing.”</a> The study’s results “suggest that racialized police patterns borne from a history of structural racism in the United States may contribute to racial disparity in [preterm births].” However, Hardeman et al. admit, “We did not (and would not have been able to) ascertain whether the pregnant people in our study had personal contact with the police before or during pregnancy.”

In an announcement about the study published by the university’s Minnesota Population Center, Hardeman stated:
“Racism is a fundamental cause of health inequity, which means we have to apply antiracism to institutions that affect the fundamentals of our lives and communities. Our research focused on residents of Minneapolis and found that U.S.-born Black birthing people and their babies were hit the hardest by over-policing, which is a form of structural racism.”

<a href="https://cla.umn.edu/about/directory/profile/sshakhsa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sima Shakhsari</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Gender, Women &amp; Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota. Shakhsari’s university profile says she uses the pronouns “they/he/she” and teaches several courses including “Queering Theory” and “Queer and Feminist White Savior Complex.”

Shakhsari was nominated for an associate dean position at the College of Liberal Arts’ Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. As part of the interview process, she gave a one-hour testimony to the university review panel where she <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/prof-who-denies-hamas-raped-israelis-not-selected-for-top-dei-role/24553" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied that Hamas committed rape against Israeli women</a> during the October 7 attacks. She claimed she hadn’t seen evidence of sexual violence, stating:
“Of course, any person who has been raped, I am a rape crisis counselor, I believe the survivors. I am yet to see Israeli rape survivors of Hamas come and speak.” 
Shakhsari went on to claim it’s racist to say that Hamas committed rape.
“Part of our work and part of my experience… was how men of color in the U.S. have been demonized and have been falsely accused of rape. Exactly because of racism. We know the history of lynching, of black men, lynching, of indigenous man lynching Latinos in this country… because of accusations and they’re kind of violating the innocence of white women, right?” 
“And I think this is also the force that is repeated in the context of Israel and Palestine, because Arab men have been demonized and have been marked as monstrous people who are rapists and for violence.” 
Shakhsari did not end up getting the associate dean position, which was instead given to Amelious Whyte.

<a href="https://jewishinsider.com/2023/12/sima-shakhsari-university-of-minnesota-professor-hamas-oct-7-atrocities-denial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish Insider</a> reached out to Shakhsari for comment and received an automatic email reply signed, “I stand with the people of Palestine in their struggle for freedom and justice, and condemn the Israeli state’s settler colonial violence and genocide in Gaza.”

In October 2023, University of Minnesota Interim President Jeff Ettinger <a href="https://www.startribune.com/tensions-on-minnesota-campuses-rise-as-colleges-and-universities-grapple-with-the-israel-hamas-war/600317258/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued a statement condemning the Hamas attacks</a> and lamenting “the countless innocent civilians who have lost their lives, been injured, or are being held captive.” Shakhsari was one of several faculty members who penned an <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSewuCmiruS5i9Fo3Av1OdOlVi5vE9KZLGB0ww4mLUjnZikqVQ/viewform?vc=0&amp;c=0&amp;w=1&amp;flr=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">open letter</a> to Ettinger calling his statement “biased” and demanding an apology.

The letter, which was signed by over 750 university faculty and staff, stated:
“Our university’s Interim President Jeff Ettinger has issued biased statements condemning Hamas, but not holding the Israeli state responsible for its violent crimes against Palestinians … Ettinger’s statements, while intended to address the recent situation, have presented a one-sided perspective showing solidarity and concern only for Israel with no acknowledgment of the ongoing and historical suffering and death of Palestinians.” 
The letter demands an apology from President Ettinger and if one is not received, the signatories call for his statement to “be treated as an incident that merits bias reporting and investigation.”

According to her university profile, Ewig teaches courses on Gender and Public Policy. She is also a curator for the <a href="https://www.hhh.umn.edu/directory/christina-ewig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender Policy Report</a> at the University of Minnesota.

Among Ewig’s academic interests are “gender, race and Latin American social policy including the historical formation of Latin American social policy; the politics and effects of market-oriented social policy reforms following economic adjustment in the 1990s and 2000s; and the more recent shift toward more generous and equitable social policies.”

Ewig’s <a href="https://www.hhh.umn.edu/directory/christina-ewig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X profile</a> biography states, “I tweet about Gender and Politics, US and Latin America.” She goes by the pronouns of “She/her/hers.”

In an interview with <a href="https://www.genderjustice.us/its-time-to-invest-in-resilience-a-conversation-with-erin-maye-quade-and-dr-christina-ewig/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender Justice</a>, Ewig discussed masculinity and its relation to the actions of men amid national health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, stating:
“[For instance], hand washing – [they] do not do that, wash their hands. And part of this is like the idea – Well, I’m resilient, and I’m strong so I don’t need to do these things.”
She claims that this resistance to taking health measures such as washing hands “has been inculcated in our society among men and boys.”

Ewig discusses gender on an institutional level and how it allegedly affects the socioeconomic status of the United States: 
“So I think really gender also, the third level I would talk about is really the institutional level, the way in which gender over the long-term through a variety of different practices – structures our society, structures our economy, and that’s really where state and national policy makers can step in and try to generate policies that can address these disparities that we’re seeing, whether it is of disparities care work or whether it is also other disparities that we’re also seeing in the economy in particular, as a result of this crisis.”
Toward the end of the interview, Ewig claims that various health crises in America have shown certain “structural inequalities” within the nation:
“I think that if there’s one thing that this crisis is showing us, it is showing the degree to which we have deep, deep inequalities within this country whether gender or race or class, and it’s showing the damage that those inequalities are doing to our resilience long-term, so shoring up our resilience as a nation in terms of facing another crisis of this sort will require investment, instead of austerity.”

Robert Thurston

<a href="https://miamioh.edu/cas/academics/departments/history/about/faculty/emeriti-faculty/thurston/index.html">Dr. Robert Thurston</a> is a Professor Emeritus of History at <a href="https://miamioh.edu/index.html">Miami University</a> in Ohio. Dr. Thurston has spent his career defending Soviet Dictator Joseph Stalin, and the Soviet Union (USSR).
BACKGROUND
Joseph Stalin’s dictatorial reign of the Soviet Union led to the death of between <a href="https://www.ibtimes.com/how-many-people-did-joseph-stalin-kill-1111789">20-40 million people through execution, starvation, and deportation</a>. Political dissidents, academics, artists, and even members of the Communist Party were often the targets of mass arrests and forced disappearances.
The most notorious repression—referred to as The Great Purge–occurred between 1936 and 1941. It is estimated that <a href="https://www.warhistoryonline.com/world-war-ii/10-facts-stalins-great-purge.html">Joseph Stalin executed or arrested over one million people</a> to eliminate potential party rivals and consolidate his grip over the USSR. Victims were often arrested or tortured into “confessing,” and then executed or deported to labor camps known as “gulags.”
At the gulags’ largest extent, as much as <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-economic-necessity-of-alexander-solzhenitsyn/">15 percent of the Soviet population was imprisoned</a> and branded as “class enemies.” Prisoners were used as slave labor and millions were worked to death in sub-zero, inhumane conditions.
The most well-known victim of Stalin&#8217;s purges was <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Aleksandr-Solzhenitsyn">Noble Laureate, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn</a>. Arrested for criticizing Stalin in private correspondence, Solzhenitsyn was sentenced to 8 years of hard labor and then internal exile.
Solzhenitsyn’s 1962 literary work titled “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” was inspired by his time serving in the gulag. “The Gulag Archipelago,” published in three volumes between 1972 and 1975, is a memoir documenting the human rights violations that occurred in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. Solzhenitsyn was quickly attacked by the Soviet press, and in 1975 was stripped of his citizenship and forcibly deported for his work. He spent the next 20 years living in exile–mostly in the United States– before returning to Russia in 1994.

In a letter published in the Fall 1980 edition of Foreign Affairs Magazine, <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/20040662?read-now=1&amp;seq=2#metadata_info_tab_contents">Dr. Thurston openly criticizes Solzhenitsyn and questions his knowledge of the Soviet Union</a>. He writes that as a Westerner visiting the Soviet Union, he did not witness the “constraints” that Solzhenitsyn had described. The letter praises the USSR for the “material progress” made since the Russian Revolution. Dr. Thurston goes so far as to claim that Solzhenitsyn is “no better in touch with the Soviet Union than he is with the Russian past.”
In 1986, Dr. Thurston would further author another paper, titled, <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/2499175?read-now=1&amp;refreqid=excelsior%3A0fbc9e7942e61f685511d2ddd3a2fcc8&amp;seq=22#page_scan_tab_contents">“Fear and Belief in the USSR’s ‘Great Terror’”: Response to Arrest.”</a> He claims that Stalin actually enjoyed widespread support despite his documented purges.
Stating that Stalin never attempted to instill fear through mass arrests and deportations during The Great Purge, Dr. Thurston bizarrely claims fear of being arrested was not widespread in the Soviet Union.
In 1998, Dr. Thurston published a book titled “<a href="https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300074420/life-and-terror-stalins-russia-1934-1941">Life and Terror in Stalin’s Russia</a>,” defending Joseph Stalin&#8217;s actions during his reign. Dr. Thurston claims that the death toll under Stalin has been greatly exaggerated and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1996/05/05/books/dark-prince-of-the-kremlin.html">the dictator is not guilty of murdering his own citizens.</a>

<a href="https://miamioh.edu/cas/academics/departments/history/about/faculty/emeriti-faculty/thurston/index.html">Dr. Robert Thurston</a> is a Professor Emeritus of History at <a href="https://miamioh.edu/index.html">Miami University</a> in Ohio. Dr. Thurston has spent his career defending Soviet Dictator Joseph Stalin, and the Soviet Union (USSR).
BACKGROUND
Joseph Stalin’s dictatorial reign of the Soviet Union led to the death of between <a href="https://www.ibtimes.com/how-many-people-did-joseph-stalin-kill-1111789">20-40 million people through execution, starvation, and deportation</a>. Political dissidents, academics, artists, and even members of the Communist Party were often the targets of mass arrests and forced disappearances.

The most notorious repression—referred to as The Great Purge–occurred between 1936 and 1941. It is estimated that <a href="https://www.warhistoryonline.com/world-war-ii/10-facts-stalins-great-purge.html">Joseph Stalin executed or arrested over one million people</a> to eliminate potential party rivals and consolidate his grip over the USSR. Victims were often arrested or tortured into “confessing,” and then executed or deported to labor camps known as “gulags.”

At the gulags’ largest extent, as much as <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-economic-necessity-of-alexander-solzhenitsyn/">15 percent of the Soviet population was imprisoned</a> and branded as “class enemies.” Prisoners were used as slave labor and millions were worked to death in sub-zero, inhumane conditions.

The most well-known victim of Stalin's purges was <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Aleksandr-Solzhenitsyn">Noble Laureate, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn</a>. Arrested for criticizing Stalin in private correspondence, Solzhenitsyn was sentenced to 8 years of hard labor and then internal exile.

Solzhenitsyn’s 1962 literary work titled “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” was inspired by his time serving in the gulag. “The Gulag Archipelago,” published in three volumes between 1972 and 1975, is a memoir documenting the human rights violations that occurred in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. Solzhenitsyn was quickly attacked by the Soviet press, and in 1975 was stripped of his citizenship and forcibly deported for his work. He spent the next 20 years living in exile–mostly in the United States– before returning to Russia in 1994.

<a href="https://elliott.gwu.edu/michael-barnett" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Barnett</a> is a Professor of International Affairs and Political Science at George Washington University.
Barnett participated in a <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12850253/George-Washington-University-Hamas-anti-Semitism-Israel.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">December 2023 faculty panel</a> titled “Understanding the Conflict in Israel and Palestine.” During the discussion, which was sponsored by the School of Medicine and Health Sciences’ Anti-Racism Coalition and the Institute for Middle East Studies, Barnett argued Palestine has a “right of resistance,” saying:
“Israel rightly can claim self-defense, but I also want to note here that Hamas and the Palestinians also have a right of resistance.” 
After the panel, Dean of Diversity and Inclusion Yolanda Haywood <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/12/10/news/gwu-med-faculty-panel-defended-hamas-right-of-resistance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">apologized to the medical community</a>.
“The primary goal was to offer an experience that would result in thoughtful reflection and be a stimulus for broader, open communication. As the webinar proceeded, it became clear that this program was not a balanced presentation on this most divisive and difficult subject.” 
In his article titled “<a href="https://politicalviolenceataglance.org/2023/06/02/the-responsibility-to-protect-palestinians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Responsibility to Protect Palestinians</a>,” Barnett claimed, “Israel has routinely violated international law, including that related to refugees, human rights, and occupation.” He believes the United States was willing to overlook these violations in the name of the “peace process.” However, he claims:
“The peace process has been dead for at least a decade and there is now a “one-state reality” from the river to the sea. In this one-state reality, Palestinians have few rights or protections and Jewish privilege is enshrined in various laws and rules that systematically discriminate against Palestinians, providing strong evidence for claims that Israel is now an apartheid state.” 
In response, Barnett says the United States needs to become a “guardian” to the Palestinians rather than an “enabler of the oppression.”
“The West might consider placing smart sanctions on Israel and leaders that benefit from Israel’s hold over the territories, or introducing trade restrictions.” 
In October 2023, Barnett penned an article for The Guardian titled “<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/24/israel-palestine-gaza-invasion-ceasefire-hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">If Israel invades Gaza it will be a disaster for both Palestinians and Israelis</a>.” He writes:
“Many months ago I used the UN’s early warning indicators to see whether Israel should be put on a watch list for potential atrocity crimes, ethnic cleansing and possibly even genocide. Israel ticked all the boxes and perhaps all that was needed to trigger these crimes against humanity was an act that caused widespread torment and rage in Israel.” 
He further claims:
“Israel rules this state with force and apartheid-like measures &#8211; Gaza is governed by isolation, deprivation and violence, and the West Bank with a creeping annexation that imposes Jewish supremacy and the denial of basic human rights to Palestinians.”

Dr. Leana Wen is a <a href="https://publichealth.gwu.edu/departments/health-policy-and-management/leana-wen-md-msc_faaem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Research Professor of Health Policy and Management</a> at George Washington University. In addition to teaching, Dr. Wen is an emergency department medical doctor and a CNN Medical Analyst. She is also an op-ed columnist for a few different publications, and previously she was the President of Planned Parenthood - a tenure that lasted only eight months.

Over the last year and a half, the focus of Dr. Wen’s research and interest has been on COVID-19. She <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2021/05/01/how-can-u-s-solve-problem-of-vaccine-hesitancy.cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">often speaks on the subject for CNN</a> and other news outlets such as the Washington Post and the New York Times. In a video clip recently released by CNN, Dr. Wen compared unvaccinated Americans to drunk drivers. You can watch the clip below:

https://twitter.com/DrLeanaWen/status/1436361021749334018

&nbsp;

In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/09/bidens-six-step-covid-strategy-does-not-go-far-enough-compel-vaccinations/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=wp_opinions&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an article published by the Washington Post</a>, Dr. Wen alleges that President Biden’s six-pronged strategy for COVID vaccination doesn’t go far enough. In her opinion, he is not doing enough to compel the unvaccinated to get vaccinated, and he needs to do even more. She argues that “the administration can and must go much further.”

<img class="size-full wp-image-1678 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-19-at-8.45.17-AM.png" alt="" width="459" height="142" />

One of her many complaints is that President Biden has not mandated vaccinations for plane and train travel. Dr. Wen believes the government should use its power to implement this mandate in order to “make it clear that there are consequences to remaining unvaccinated.” Dr. Wen alleges that travel is a privilege, not a right.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1679 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-19-at-8.46.12-AM.png" alt="" width="470" height="176" />

Dr. Wen is a huge proponent of vaccine passports. She notes that Israel and the European Union have vaccine verification methods, and the United States should as well.

Dr. Wen also thinks that all children over 12 years old should be required to be vaccinated, and the COVID vaccine should be added to the other immunization requirements for children. Dr. Wen explains how she would convince parents to vaccinate their children <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9W7IJdig7w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in this video</a>.

Dr. <a href="https://americanstudies.columbian.gwu.edu/elisabeth-anker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elisabeth Anker</a> is an Associate Professor of American Studies and Political Science at  <a href="https://americanstudies.columbian.gwu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Washington University</a> in Washington DC. The author of “<a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/ugly-freedoms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ugly Freedoms</a>,” Dr. Anker has described freedom as a “slippery concept” that upholds patriarchy, <a href="https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/2974/Ugly-Freedoms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">colonialism, ecological destruction, and white supremacy</a>.

In an article for the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), Dr. Anker <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/radio/checkup/what-s-your-reaction-to-the-ottawa-standoff-and-the-border-blockades-1.6349636/why-the-word-freedom-is-such-a-useful-rallying-cry-for-protesters-1.6349865" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vilifies right-wing and conservative groups who utilize “freedom” as their rallying cry to remove COVID-19 restrictions</a>. Her comments were published just as the Canadian government began cracking down on the “Freedom Convoy” by using emergency police powers.

The Freedom Convoy was organized in the winter of 2022 to protest the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/01/29/trucker-freedom-convoy-set-to-protest-justin-trudeaus-vaccine-mandates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian government's enforcement of a vaccination mandate for truckers</a>. Participants parked their trucks in downtown Ottawa and halted traffic for weeks in front of the Canadian Parliament. Elsewhere, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/08/freedom-convoy-supporters-block-traffic-canadas-busiest-border-crossing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">truck drivers blocked vital points of entry on the US-Canadian border</a>.

After several weeks, the city police began <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/canadian-police-seize-fuel-trucker-covid-protest-court-silences-horns-rcna15294" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seizing fuel and other supplies</a> from the convoy. The crowdfunding site, “GoFundMe,” <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/ottawa-police-admit-to-lobbying-gofundme-to-withhold-funds-from-canadian-truckers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pulled a donation page from the truckers at the request of the Ottawa Police</a>. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau authorized the use of the “Emergencies Act” which grants the Canadian government extrajudicial powers in breaking up the blockade.

The <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/freedom-convoy-trucker-protests-organizers-arrested" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organizers of the protest were soon arrested</a> and <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-freedom-convoy-organizer-tamara-lich-denied-bail?utm_campaign=64483" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held without bail</a>. Individuals who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trudeau-announces-unprecedented-action-freezing-bank-accounts-of-freedom-convoy-protesters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">participated or donated to the convoy soon found their bank accounts frozen</a>. As police moved to clear the site of the protest, footage emerged of mounted units <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/woman-trampled-freedom-protest-indigenous-elder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trampling demonstrators, including an elderly woman in a mobility scooter</a>. Additional footage shows <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-rebel-news-journalist-assaulted-injured-by-police-at-freedom-convoy-protest-rebel-news-were-suing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">police injuring reporters</a> and <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/juliorosas/2022/02/18/ottawa-police-threatens-media-with-arrest-amid-crackdown-on-trucker-protests-n2603491" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threatening others with arrest for covering the protest.</a>

In the days leading up to the crackdown, Dr. Anker described the protests as a “violent” form of freedom and accused the “far-right” of abusing liberties to oppose equity.

“On the far right, [individual freedom] is often translated into somebody who refuses to be bound by norms of equality, treating all people equally or norms to remedy inequality, whether that’s trying to remedy racial discrimination or gender discrimination.”

She further laments how Canadians take advantage of the concept of freedom as a “national entitlement,” just as Americans do.

“It's been taking a lot of people by surprise to see people in Canada, who often seem so much more accepting of social interdependence, to start pushing back against it with the language of individual freedom.”

In a previous article for the New York Times—titled, “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220204102257/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/04/opinion/ugly-freedom-discrimination-racism-sexism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Exploitation of ‘Freedom’ in America</a>,”—Dr. Anker condemns Americans who cite their “ugly freedoms” to remove mask mandates and prohibit abortions.

“Each of these actions used the language of freedom to justify anti-democratic politics. These, then, are what I call “ugly freedoms”: used to block the teaching of certain ideas, diminish employees' ability to have power in the workplace, and undermine public health.

“These are not merely misunderstood freedoms, or even just a cynical use of the language of freedom to frame bigoted policies. They manifest, instead, a particular interpretation of freedom that is not expansive, but exclusionary and coercive.”

She goes on to write that the “long history of ugly freedoms” includes justifications for slavery, marital abuse, and segregation; freedoms in America, she argues, have suppressed “nonwhites, women, and workers,” and have been used to justify white supremacy.

As of publication, the Canadian Parliament has just voted <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/canadian-parliament-votes-to-extend-emergencies-act-for-30-days/#slide-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to extend the Emergencies Act</a>.

<a href="https://history.columbian.gwu.edu/david-silverman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Silverman</a> is a Professor at the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences at George Washington University. 

According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20687" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, David Silverman criticized Thanksgiving, stating it presents Native Americans as a “caricature” and whitewashes the nation’s bloody founding and history. His comments came during a segment on NPR’s, “<a href="https://one.npr.org/?sharedMediaId=1057940813:1057940820" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Woke History</a>.” 

In the interview, Silverman characterizes Thanksgiving as the myth of “native people making friends with colonists and then bloodlessly granting their country to these newcomers.” He asks listeners to reflect on the “damage done to indigenous people in the classroom” by this narrative.  

He further alleges the holiday negatively impacts white children:

“...in sanitizing the bloodiness of colonial history, it doesn't allow them to understand where their privilege comes from, it doesn’t allow them to think critically about this country’s origins, and in turn, it handicaps them from thinking about our present and our future.”

Silverman added that football teams like the “Redskins” who play on Thanksgiving make a “caricature” out of Native People: 

“…they misrepresent the Native past and they make many Native people today uncomfortable and invisible to the larger public. It does a great deal of damage. This is not just innocent fun.”

Silverman also promoted  his book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/This-Land-Their-Wampanoag-Thanksgiving/dp/1632869241" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This Land is Their Land</a>.” According to the description, Thanksgiving “celebrates a myth of colonialism and white proprietorship of the United States.” 

In the text, Silverman <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/11/27/george-washington-university-prof-thanksgiving-should-be-a-day-of-mourning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocates replacing the holiday</a> with a “National Day of Mourning” to reflect on the genocide of native Americans by white people: 

“The National Day of Mourning calls attention to the fact that white America’s triumphs have been borne on native peoples’ backs.” 

Despite his criticism, Silverman admitted to NPR that he still celebrates Thanksgiving.

<a href="https://psyd.columbian.gwu.edu/lara-sheehi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lara Sheehi</a> is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology at George Washington University (GWU).  Her biography states that she teaches “decolonial, liberatory, and anti-oppressive theories and approaches to clinical treatment.”

In January 2023, the pro-Israel organization “StandWithUs” <a href="https://www.jns.org/standwithus-files-complaint-against-george-washington-u-alleging-antisemitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a complaint against GWU</a>, alleging that Sheehi maintains “a pervasive, hostile, and discriminatory environment for Jewish and Israeli students.”

<a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/jewish-students-reported-a-professor-for-anti-semitism-the-university-retaliated-against-them/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a> reports that during the first fall class of 2022, Sheehi asked each student to verbally affirm their ethnic identity. When one student announced that she was Israeli, Sheehi allegedly replied, “It’s not your fault you were born in Israel.”

For the remainder of the semester, the complaint states that Sheehi would berate and accuse Jewish students of racism. Fellow classmates were incited to exclude them at the direction of Sheehi. When students reported Sheehi, she allegedly retaliated against them.

George Washington University <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/03/29/gwu-professor-lara-sheehi-accused-of-antisemitism/">would later clear Sheehi of all wrong-doing</a>. The findings of an internal probe declared there is “no evidence that the discourse (in the class) crossed the line.”

On her personal social media account—which appears to <a href="https://twitter.com/blackflaghag">have been </a><a href="https://twitter.com/blackflaghag">deleted</a> as of publication—Sheehi expresses the same anti-Israel sentiments and support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Much of Sheehi’s professional work demonizes Israel and recruits academics for the BDS movement. According to a report by <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/308321" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arutz Sheeva</a>, Sheehi used her position as President of the Psychologists for Social Responsibility to advocate for the “decolonization” of Palestine. As President of the US Palestine Mental Health Network, Sheehi worked to boycott <a href="https://usapalmhn.org/about-dont-go/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli health conferences and mental health professionals.</a>

In 2022, she co-authored <a href="https://www.routledge.com/Psychoanalysis-Under-Occupation-Practicing-Resistance-in-Palestine/Sheehi-Sheehi/p/book/9781138596207" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine</a>” with William &amp; Mary professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/stephensheehi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Sheehi</a>.  During an <a href="https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/43950" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>, she described the piece as an examination of the ”profound psychic violence” Israel inflicts on Palestinians.

Sheehi characterizes herself in the same interview as a “life-long BDS activist.” She adds that it is crucial for Palestinians to resist Israel’s “eurocentric” practices that further “white supremacy and capitalist exploitation.” Despite their attempts to the contrary, Sheehi continues, Israelis will never be looked at as anything other than an “occupier, oppressor, and settler” toward Arabs.

<a href="https://elliott.gwu.edu/michael-barnett" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Barnett</a> is a Professor of International Affairs and Political Science at George Washington University.

Barnett participated in a <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12850253/George-Washington-University-Hamas-anti-Semitism-Israel.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">December 2023 faculty panel</a> titled “Understanding the Conflict in Israel and Palestine.” During the discussion, which was sponsored by the School of Medicine and Health Sciences’ Anti-Racism Coalition and the Institute for Middle East Studies, Barnett argued Palestine has a “right of resistance,” saying:
“Israel rightly can claim self-defense, but I also want to note here that Hamas and the Palestinians also have a right of resistance.” 
After the panel, Dean of Diversity and Inclusion Yolanda Haywood <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/12/10/news/gwu-med-faculty-panel-defended-hamas-right-of-resistance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">apologized to the medical community</a>.
“The primary goal was to offer an experience that would result in thoughtful reflection and be a stimulus for broader, open communication. As the webinar proceeded, it became clear that this program was not a balanced presentation on this most divisive and difficult subject.” 
In his article titled “<a href="https://politicalviolenceataglance.org/2023/06/02/the-responsibility-to-protect-palestinians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Responsibility to Protect Palestinians</a>,” Barnett claimed, “Israel has routinely violated international law, including that related to refugees, human rights, and occupation.” He believes the United States was willing to overlook these violations in the name of the “peace process.” However, he claims:
“The peace process has been dead for at least a decade and there is now a “one-state reality” from the river to the sea. In this one-state reality, Palestinians have few rights or protections and Jewish privilege is enshrined in various laws and rules that systematically discriminate against Palestinians, providing strong evidence for claims that Israel is now an apartheid state.” 
In response, Barnett says the United States needs to become a “guardian” to the Palestinians rather than an “enabler of the oppression.”
“The West might consider placing smart sanctions on Israel and leaders that benefit from Israel’s hold over the territories, or introducing trade restrictions.” 
In October 2023, Barnett penned an article for The Guardian titled “<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/24/israel-palestine-gaza-invasion-ceasefire-hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">If Israel invades Gaza it will be a disaster for both Palestinians and Israelis</a>.” He writes:
“Many months ago I used the UN’s early warning indicators to see whether Israel should be put on a watch list for potential atrocity crimes, ethnic cleansing and possibly even genocide. Israel ticked all the boxes and perhaps all that was needed to trigger these crimes against humanity was an act that caused widespread torment and rage in Israel.” 
He further claims:
“Israel rules this state with force and apartheid-like measures - Gaza is governed by isolation, deprivation and violence, and the West Bank with a creeping annexation that imposes Jewish supremacy and the denial of basic human rights to Palestinians.”

Katz Graduate School of Business and College of Business Administration at the University of Pittsburgh. Before joining the Katz faculty in 2022, Hadlock was a Professor of Finance and Associate Dean at Michigan State University.
<a href="https://www.utimes.pitt.edu/news/new-katz-professor-left" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University Times</a> reports, around the same time Hadlock joined Pitt faculty, the Title IX coordinator at Michigan State University signed a formal complaint against him. The Times writes, “Two people reported being subject to unwelcome sexual contact by Hadlock, who was then business school associate dean, during an annual business gala in April 2022 attended by students and professors.”
An investigation report of the incident was made public in January 2023 and found that Hadlock did violate the school’s policies on relationship violence, sexual misconduct and Title IX while “heavily intoxicated” at the Gatsby Gala.
After the report became public, a Pitt spokesperson said:
“In light of the information that became public in January of 2023, the University’s Office of Compliance, Investigation and Ethics is reviewing this hiring process. Once this review is complete, the University will be positioned to determine the appropriate next steps.” 
Sanjay Gupta, former business dean at Michigan State, was forced to resign over the controversy partially due to his failure to report Hadlock’s behavior under the university’s guidelines.
According to an <a href="https://statenews.com/article/2023/03/woodruff-business-dean-removal-was-about-more-than-mandatory-reporting-failure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">August 2022 letter</a> addressed to the Board of Trustees, Michigan State’s Interim President Teresa Woodruff stated, “(Gupta) said he indicated to Dr. Hadlock that ‘I must let you go.’ Dr. Gupta (later) said he did not do so because he thought Dr. Hadlock was resigning and leaving MSU.”

<a href="https://bioethics.pitt.edu/people/greer-donley-jd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greer Donley</a> is a John E. Murray Scholar and Associate Professor of Law at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. According to her university profile, she is a “national expert on abortion and the law.”

Greer Donley, along with professors <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/davidcohen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David S. Cohen</a> and <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/rachelrebouche" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rachel Rebouché</a>, co-authored a paper titled, “<a href="https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=201095112122103006025001126085088086040043066035030023010102086110082021091104083089018000021043022098116013003097117122116005047027049064068076113123027064120023067081030081125091019084010126124006076097006097103124024118011028114001123029127006098&amp;EXT=pdf&amp;INDEX=TRUE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New Abortion Battleground</a>.” This article lays out three potential ways that the Biden administration can “protect abortion rights” in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned.

Donley and her co-authors write that Congress should create a federal right to abortion which, under the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, would arguably “preempt state abortion bans.” They also suggest the federal government could allow abortions to take place on federal land where state abortion bans might be inapplicable. Lastly, they advocate for the federal government to remove obstacles that may make it difficult for women to receive medication abortions.

Donley authored another article titled, “<a href="https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=204024105119027094067107010108101093034021070051045032025118110105026087085098121011048103001010014121023024093064000082004114107082070089028065088099014117080065035037042078101014092029003127022067076087069115111066001082003071009111005095012015113&amp;EXT=pdf&amp;INDEX=TRUE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Second-Trimester Abortion Dangertalk</a>.” She defines dangertalk as a term abortion providers use to describe “open dialogue about uncomfortable abortion truths.” She believes that “embracing abortion dangertalk should disarm the anti-abortion, woman-protective narrative surrounding second-trimester abortion regulations - a narrative suggesting that women would not have chosen an abortion had they been better informed.”

The first part of her paper describes “the unique nature of the second-trimester abortion procedure, which is ‘visually and viscerally different’ than first-trimester abortion because it involved ‘removing what looks like a fully formed but small baby’ instead of a ‘microscopic fetus and gestational sac.’”

In the second part of her article, she admits many women feel a sense of grief and loss after a second trimester abortion. She believes that abortion providers should offer patients the option of memory-making to help them process these emotions. Memory-making is typically used for parents who have experienced a stillbirth. It gives them the opportunity to hold their child and obtain mementos such as pictures and footprints.

Donley notes that some abortion providers offer this care to a certain extent, but believes it should become common practice for women to be offered memory-making opportunities with their aborted child. She suggests: “Women can, for instance, create mementos from the heartbeat sound, have special ultrasound pictures taken, have footprints and handprints made, name the child, or have the remains cremated or buried.”

Donley adds that certain types of abortion procedures may not make it possible for the woman to hold the child. She notes an induction abortion “allows a woman to hold her baby without any physical scars caused by the abortion procedure.” She also says:
“A D&amp;X abortion allows similar opportunities without the extra time, expense, or need for inpatient care, including the baby, albeit with some trauma to the fetus’s head. Holding the baby is often not possible after a D&amp;E because the fetus is not intact, but other memories are possible.” 
Despite all this, Donley says abortion providers believe that memory-making can be empowering for women who receive a second-trimester abortion. They believe that “women who choose to view the fetal tissue benefit due to ‘exercising choice and control during the abortion.’”

The event was a joint effort between the Leadership Institute and Turning Point USA and featured a question-and-answer session.

After a short back-and-forth, Gaines asked Yearwood, “If you were to dig up two humans one hundred years from now, both man and woman, could you tell the difference, strictly off of bones?”

After Yearwood replied “No!” the room erupted in laughter. In response, Yearwood stated:

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/beth-hoffman-70b1b79a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beth Hoffman</a> is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Behavioral and Community Health Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. According to her LinkedIn profile, Hoffman’s research examines “the influence of television on education and health promotion” and the “characteristics of those who express anti-vaccine sentiment on Facebook and the history of anti-vaccine rhetoric and protests.”

In July 2023, Hoffman led a study titled, “<a href="https://www.cureus.com/articles/157628-utilizing-television-clips-for-graduate-medical-education-anti-racist-curricula-an-acceptability-study?score_article=true#!/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Utilizing Television Clips for Graduate Medical Education Anti-Racist Curricula: An Acceptability Study</a>.” The introduction begins by stating:
“Systemic racism continues to be a major problem plaguing every facet of American life; healthcare is no exception. Centuries of discrimination toward Black Americans have resulted in less access to appropriate education, funding, and encouragement, preventing them from having equal access to medical education.” 
The writers say that “edutainment”, which involves the incorporation of educational content into entertainment content, is one tool that can be used to fix this systemic racism. They say previous research has used clips from shows such as ER, Grey’s Anatomy, and House M.D. to address issues such as “anti-obesity bias,” so they “hypothesized that it would be a useful tool in teaching about race bias and anti-racism.”

According to the paper, the four topics represented in each pair of clips shown to participants were “(1) health disparities and stigmatizing language, (2) physician becoming jaded about the role of the healthcare system in addressing racism, (3) bias in clinical care, and (4) tokenism and the minority tax.”

However, the researchers do recognize there <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/teach-anti-racism-to-med-students-with-greys-anatomy-study/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could be some problems</a> with trying to train medical students with TV clips, saying:
“Despite the numerous possible advantages to an edutainment approach in anti-racism curricula, educators undertaking this work must also employ a framework of cultural competence to navigate potentially challenging and emotionally charged discussions that may follow edutainment clips that begin such discussions.
“With diverse groups of participants, educators facilitating discussion need to understand various perspectives, defuse conflict, and have a trauma-informed approach to racist and microaggressive comments.” 
The researchers conclude:
“Edutainment with medical television shows may be a promising avenue for anti-racist curricular content for residents. The educational methods described here are being incorporated into a multi-pronged, hospital system wide graduate medical education anti-racist curriculum.”

<a href="https://www.urbanstudies.pitt.edu/people/ant-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Paterson</a> is a Professor of Urban Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. His faculty profile states that he is “especially interested in historical approaches to the senses and space, including multisensory methodological approaches to the city, the use of wearable devices and videography.”

In a piece for <a href="https://theconversation.com/why-are-so-many-robots-white-213336" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a>, titled “Why are so many robots white,” Paterson argued that robotic machines do not reflect “basic aspects of society’s diversity.”

Addressing the recent history of robots used for therapeutic purposes, Paterson questions the typical appearance of robots and why most of them are white. He asks,
“Why does <a href="https://robotsguide.com/robots/kaspar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kaspar</a>, designed to interact with children with autism, have rubber skin that resembles a white person’s? Why are <a href="https://robotsguide.com/robots/nao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nao</a>, <a href="https://robotsguide.com/robots/pepper">Pepper</a> and <a href="https://robotsguide.com/robots/icub">iCub</a>, robots used in schools and museums, clad with shiny, white plastic?”
For Paterson, “human-machine interaction should be designed with diversity and inclusion in mind, according to engineers <a href="https://theconversation.com/building-machines-that-work-for-everyone-how-diversity-of-test-subjects-is-a-technology-blind-spot-and-what-to-do-about-it-174757" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tahira Reid and James Gibert</a>.”

In addition to changing the robotic aesthetic to be more ethnically diverse, Paterson believes there could also be improvements in "gestures and touch." He does not explain in the piece how this can be done, but believes that “such work” will “make human-robot interaction less scary and <a href="https://doi.org/10.1027/2151-2604/a000486" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uncann</a>y.” He concludes the piece with the following statement:
“Along with making robots less universally white and female, social scientists, interaction designers and engineers can work together to produce more <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/17458927.2023.2179231">cross-cultural sensitivity in gestures and touch</a>, for example.”

“I’m joining you today … on a special anniversary … 56 years ago today Malcolm X spoke at the London School of Economics, sadly, 10 days before he was assassinated. But in reading through the remarks he shared at LSE, I was struck … by his attention to the revolutionary movements across Africa as models and inspirations for [liberation movements] the world over.”
She continued:
“And one of the central features of liberation at that time … was this collective resistance to colonial law [which was] meant to support and maintain colonists’ repressive drive for, among other things, exploited and exploitable labor forces. So, law[sic] was always the fascist marriage of globally militarized governments and capital or corporate interests.”

She writes in the introduction:
“Racism is produced by and produces structural racial domination …  The people in [my] study are not isolated, individual players in unique scenarios of schooling and failure. They are in fact part of the larger system of racism to which they variously contribute and against which they variously struggle. [JPS] maintained a relatively stable cohort of [w]hite middle-class students.”

Bonilla’s <a href="https://yarimarbonilla.com/bio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal website</a> says: 
“[Bonilla] teaches and writes about questions of race, history, and political culture across the Americas. She has tracked these issues across a broad range of sites and practices including: anti-colonial activism, race and social media, [and] the politics of the Trump presidency.”
Bonilla is one of 19 professors to form Princeton’s first Faculty for Justice in Palestine group. Bonilla joined a list of signatories featured in an open letter published by <a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/11/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-for-justice-in-palestine-demand-free-speech-protection-divestment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Princetonian</a>. On November 29, 2023, the Princetonian posted the faculty statement, which included the following quote:
“In solidarity with the <a href="https://usacbi.org/faculty-for-justice-in-palestine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel]</a> call for faculty action in defense of students who are currently under attack from university administrators, other student groups, and outside actors for their Palestine solidarity work … we hereby declare the founding of the Princeton Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FJP).
“We rise in coalition with the students, scholars, and people of conscience resisting the forces currently deployed to silence, mischaracterize, and criminalize dissent on college campuses and beyond … A culture of intimidation, silencing, and punishment is now moving across the United States and around the world.”
Bonilla and the FJP further declared “support for those in Palestine who have called for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS).” The letter ends with a call for an “end to Israeli occupation and apartheid and for a free Palestine.”
