Harvard makes it impossible to figure out where an egregious tenure denial ends and a slow death of a Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality program begins, and sowing confusion might be the point

Warum wir beim Klima zwar alle in einem Boot sitzen, es aber entscheidend ist, dass manche im halbgefluteten Maschinenraum mitfahren und andere auf dem Sonnendeck:

Liebe Follower, ich bin auf der Suche nach antiquarischen Büchern des (eher entlegenen) Autors Maximilian Josef von Oer aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Die einschlägigen Seiten im Netz habe ich schon abgesucht. Wer weiß etwas? Bitte gern teilen.

Cover von Amy Readings Buch "The World She Edited" über Katharine White.

Cover von Amy Readings Buch "The World She Edited" über Katharine White.

Ich kann gar nicht laut genug sagen, wie gut dieses Buch ist. Eine der besten Biografien, die ich je gelesen habe.

"Katharine Whites career irrefutable corrects the romantic portrail of literature as born from the innermost reaches of a genius creator."

Anyway, happy Monday! The Dean is shutting down my department - Religion & Culture, the only 1 of is kind in the country & home to the innovative Major in Humanities for Public Service. There is no immediate budgetary or political pressure for this decision

I've now been allowed and asked to share more details about what's going down at the University of Oregon, which involves imminent announcement of firings, among others, of tenure-track and tenured faculty. Given the units impacted (see below), please  share this with your professional networks in related disciplines and start getting ready to put pressure (or begin putting pressure already) on the University of Oregon upper admin to abandon this alleged plan before they finalize it.

It appears that, with no prior consultations, the departments of Religion and Classics (two separate units), and the programs in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, German & Scandinavian, Judaic Studies, Arabic Studies, and Holocaust Studies (the latter five all parts of a previously-consolidated mega unit called the Schnitzer School of Global Studies and Languages) are facing imminent announcement of elimination (expected the week of Sept 7), with layoffs of pre-tenure, tenured, and career faculty in these units. The reason given is "financial exigency" -- upper administrations of several universities across the country (and in blue states like Oregon also) appear to be giddy to use the context of Trump attacks on higher ed to dismantle the humanities.

Faculty at OU won a faculty union not long ago; this may be, in part, a retaliation for that, I've been told. The union is working with AAUP, etc.; my understanding is that the maximum spotlight is needed at this point.

A massive attack on several humanities units (Arabic Studies, Judaic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Classics, Religion, German & Scandinavian, Russian/East European/Eurasian Studies) *and* tenure now unfolding at the University of Oregon (a blue state!). Closure of units and faculty layoffs threatened.
