Here is @kathleen_stock1 on one of her many, many, condescending attacks on Prof. Arday.
Here’s Kathleen Stock laughing and mocking Cambridge professor Jason Arday a few days ago. This is one of the videos she’s just hurriedly deleted. Privileged, academic ivory tower snobbiness and nastiness - with an undertone of you know what. #Terfs #GenderCritical

This is her “statement.” Avoid accountability, deflect, claim innocence. @kathleen_stock1 was relentless in her bigoted assault on Professor Arday. Now she runs from her record of verbal abuse and assault.

So excited for my friend!!!
My @NYUpress book has an incredible cover, highlighting the breathtaking work of Coptic painter, Dr. Guirguis Lotfy. Mixing iconographic imagery with the duality of movement, the painting speaks to several aspects of the book. Release date is March 2025! 🎉

Chicago narrates an incredible story about black religion. It’s a signal city that immediately directs our attention toward many movements and sounds... #GospelPBS

Who hurt you @megynkelly ?
The so-called Black National Anthem does not belong at the Super Bowl. We already have a National Anthem and it includes EVERYONE.
