Here I talk about the genealogy of the term "sexuality" and how it is a critical site of scholarly inquiry. I also talk about attacks on gender studies now.

"Roughly three-quarters (73%) of H-1B workers whose applications were approved in fiscal 2023 were born in India. A majority of approvals every year since 2010 have gone to workers born in India." www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

My book, The Future That Was, is about the extraordinary rise of global research on women. It also about the attacks on & starvation of gender research today by universities who leave only the shell intact, dismantling entire fields of knowledge built by women press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

terrific essay by feminist historian Joan Scott on attacks on free inquiry in the time of her father and now: “this time around, the stakes feel even higher”

A top 50 US university yesterday fired an instructor, a department chair, and a dean because a course made some reference to transgender people without the brief official course description in the catalog saying “trigger warning: gender.” In conclusion, those intolerant lefty kids, cancel culture.

Those mfers who whinged the loudest about “cancel culture” invested thousands of man-hours into dredging up single tweets made by vulnerable academics to use as pretexts to get them canned

The cowardly enemy of academic freedom Mark Welsh has fired the faculty member seen on the viral video. Texas A&M is not an institution with academic freedom. president.tamu.edu/messages/an-...

theres a tension here that I’ve had to write about and still need to write/speak about more robustly re soft power, militarism, developmentalism(s) and solidarity with/care for the most vulnerable

Hey NYC people: As of today the governor’s override of federal guidance means you can officially get your new COVID vaccine. I’m getting mine at CVS right now

First they came for… again and again and again

When Campus Reform and Turning point came after professors and created the professor watchlist, administrators didn't pay attention..Now they are being fired and attacked. Maybe institutions should have done more to protect academic freedom....

If *your department head and your dean* can be removed for supporting your colleague in teaching in their area of expertise, then you have no academic freedom. In a functional sense, you don't work at a university at all.

Always read Robin D.G. Kelley: "We need to create a new university. And we will never change anything unless we are organized," and, how? in the style of Tiffany Willoughby-Herard, "putting...body and...future on the line" www.bostonreview.net/forum/the-re...

so looking forward thinking with the extraordinary @esmat.bsky.social at the launch of his new book, Parting Gifts of Empire, from @ucpress.bsky.social @makdisi.bsky.social at the University of Toronto November 6, 2025

This decision, if it stands, will decimate graduate education in the US. Which is the point presumably… www.cnn.com/2025/08/28/p...

Given the deranged turn in the public conversation around migration lately, I highly encourage everyone listen to this interview with environmental historian Prof. Sunil Amrith, on the history of human movement. It provides much needed perspective & more than a little sanity to the discussion!

I’m so angry about this COVID vaccine thing that I can barely see straight

I know there's a lot happening today, but this is sneaking in under the radar. This proposed new rule would absolutely crush foreign PhD students, potentially making it impossible for them to enroll with any certainty of their ability to finish www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
