About three months ago Tavia Nyong’o & I conceived of a collection of essays on The Epstein Class and the University meant to consider the ubiquity is sexual violence in the university & the fundamental fact that access to young women has long been a side perk of university employment & attendance.

Attacks on the humanities/humanistic social sciences are attacks on women, Black people and other people of color, poor and queer folks, and others whose presence threatens power's smooth functioning. They're an aspect of the same project that undermines libraries and public education.

a lot of very annoying men have been going on about “restoring trust” in universities, by which they mean increasing “viewpoint diversity,” by which they mean privileging evidence-free conservative beliefs. but it seems like a bigger deal that students and faculty can’t trust their school this way:

Yeah. Wrote a whole book about it. We make issues salient in discourse through consistent effort. It’s an empirical fact but folks acts like political issues& issue attitudes are sprung from a “kitchen table” cabbage patch. We should argue for what we want. Again & again. Until it’s common sense.

A whole lot of people, at every level, are acting like they’ll never go to prison for their actions, and they’re probably not wrong—bankrupting them up and down the org chart, though… leaving them no guy to turn to for a bailout, a new job, a new grift…

That's a very funny substitution in this sentence (from James): "Speculative thought is important, and unless you are doing speculative thought you are not doing any thought at all. You are only playing about."

I just realized, reading article proofs, I almost always use "speculatively" to mean something like "dialectically" (I credit/blame C. L. R. James) but these may not be a universal substitution.
