The initiators of this statement realize that it will not feel safe for all members to sign, but hope that those who feel comfortable will sign and distribute it to others in their professional networks and departments. There is also an option to sign the statement anonymously.

We find ourselves in a crisis moment and must face it through collective action and clear articulations of our intent to defend our work as teachers and scholars. While the statement focuses on the US, expressions of support are not limited to American scholars.

A group of U.S.-based faculty colleagues from a wide range of disciplines and institutional affiliations have developed and are distributing a statement that expresses our shared commitments to democracy, diversity, and higher education. bit.ly/DemocracyAnd...

New episode, on Tony's trip up and down Magic Mountain. Come for the analysis of identity politics in the chapter and novel, stay for the celeb commentary, Thomas Mann bits, and the "Is Tony a Good Dad?" discussion. delugecast.wordpress.com/2025/03/18/t...
