🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

It aims to incubate and empower forward-thinking approaches to identity data that embrace its messiness and are savvy to its political effects.’ To the left-hand side is a headshot of Dr Kevin Guyan, the Director of the Gender + Sexuality Data Lab.
