Gloria Steinem died today. One memory of her. When I arrived at Rutgers from Loughborough in 2015, I immediately became involved in the campaign to fund the Gloria Steinem Endowed Chair in Media, Culture, and Feminist Studies. 1/8

#1 Following on from my earlier thread about claims of “bias” in universities (link below 👇), I was struck by James Marriott’s column in today’s Times. It’s full of anecdote & caricature. The real story of UK universities is structural, financial, and political. 🧵 👉 bsky.app/profile/prof...

There is an increasingly common and very lazy notion that universities are left biased. That needs countering as universities are under attack in the US but also elsewhere. I wrote a thread about it.

Jonathan Potter @profjonathanpotter.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Universities aren’t “biased” because they care about inequality or social justice. They’re biased toward evidence. Toward facts. Especially in the US, careless talk of “left-wing bias” invites real damage. Thoughts from US/UK experience here: 👇

Listening to Rest is Politics, Rest is Politics US, and reading respected commentators, it's striking how 'left-wing bias' in universities is now taken for granted. That matters, especially in the US, where academia faces political attack. Thoughts from having worked in US/UK universities. 🧵

As Tajfel (1978a) argued, ‘the dichotomy in the explanations of mass intergroup phenomena is not ... between the rational and the irrational, but between the irrational and the social–cognitive’ (p. 420). It's worth repeating.
