For the cover of the September issue, I wrote about why I left Bates College, the tenure track, and academia entirely. Come for the attempted lynching, stay for the union-busting, decolonial chemistry, and soft rabbits.
Much of @Tyler_A_Harper’s academic career had felt like a fairy tale. When he landed a tenure-track job, one adviser said that it was like “watching the last dinosaur being born.” But after few years at Bates College, his faith in academia had shattered: theatlantic.com/magazine/202…

Lepore regrets not speaking up about what she saw as the chilling, *prosecutorial* environment on campuses starting back in 2014. This podcast @AmnaUncensored & I recently released on why some profs are reluctant to speak their minds may be of interest: banished.substack.com/p/are-…
Jill Lepore—in a new interview— explains what she meant when recently stating in the NYT that something changed for the worse at colleges, at least elite ones, beginning around 2014. chronicle.com/article/why-ji…

Some more good insights on academia's courage problem, from @Musa_alGharbi, @AmnaUncensored, and @JeffreyASnyder. My take is that academics underestimate their own career incentives for courage, but institutions also don't create sufficient incentives for courage, from the perspective of institutions' interests.

It was a pleasure talking with @JeffreyASnyder and @AmnaUncensored about the threats to expression in higher ed today — both those from abroad, and home-brewed. We really could’ve (and almost did) chat for hours!
