I spent a year watching school administrators do their jobs—and interviewing the students most impacted. I spoke to @thecut.com in a long-form Q&A about what I saw. Mainly, a system designed to protect perpetrators and punish victims in each and every case.

The Reason Why Colleges Still Fail to Address Sexual Violence
The “Cornell Seven” case highlights what’s wrong with Trump’s Title IX rules — and how the system was always designed to fail.

I'd like to create a list of all the theories and approaches in organisation studies that riff off feminist or critical race theory, without paying sufficient homage. Case 1: Stigma.

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

Good morning from King's Urgent Care Unit. I've got a minor hand injury that the GP couldn't help with, so I'm just in a queue at A&E. Seems ridiculous, and I feel guilty for taking up space, but here we are. Anyone want to take bets on how many hours to come?

I'm still reeling from the news that so many #UniversityOfNottingham faculty received letters of redundancy. 600 jobs to go, across loads of schools including the Business School. I just can't quite believe it has come to this. Shocking mismanagement. Thinking of my ex-colleagues & professors.

Participant lists for events: It's just occurred to me how helpful they can be for some people facing social anxiety about attending events, or needing to avoid certain others (cf. #MeToo). But am I missing an ethical issue with sharing lists of registerered attendees? Privacy...?

I feel guilty about spending the day reading research. Is that because it doesn't feel as 'productive'? My job title is 'Reader' for goodness' sake! Something has gone awry...

Rage stage! Great term. Funnily enough I start with the small stuff to make me feel like I can do it... but I should definitely try to 'eat the frog' and get to the main problems...

Lauren McCarthy @gendercsr.bsky.social · 06/12/2024
It's always so fascinating to hear other people's approaches. I have to draft the letter first, as a kind of working to-do list. That drives me to get on and edit, but... this time round trying to think straight whilst literally waiting for contractions is a bit ridiculous, haha!

Lauren McCarthy @gendercsr.bsky.social · 06/12/2024
What's the fastest you've ever turned around a (major) paper revision? And what's your strategy- letter first, then edits? Something else?

If it takes as long to get to a full professor as it took me to get to from associate prof to reader, then yes!

Thank you! I need to think how to translate what a Reader is into the normal world. Baby professor? Professor-In-Waiting?

This reflects the challenges we see on the ground for women staff, as well as the broader political and cultural backslide on gender equity

Today I attended a lecture online and listened, thought, and thought some more. Just for intellectual growth. Kind of what I thought academia would be like!
050
Lauren McCarthy @gendercsr.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
Yes I can see when it would be helpful in that case. I guess one meta-worry I have is that journals will come to *expect* ever-larger datasets as a result of growing AI use, without the reflection of what is lost, or unique, about qualitative, smaller studies.

Lauren McCarthy @gendercsr.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
At the risk of sounding like a luddite, AI involvement in most of qual research is worrying. We lose understanding, depth & human connection with the research at every stage. Urgh.

Lauren McCarthy @gendercsr.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
#AI #chatbots conducting #interviews is wrong on so many levels: - Ethically (duty of care to our participants; huge questions about privacy & protection of data) - Methodologically (distance between us & data means we risk losing the depth & rigour that qualitative methods provide) And more...
