I Worked With Avital Ronell. I Believe Her Accuser
h/t Instapundit[Chronicle] ...A culture of critics in name only, where genuine criticism is undertaken at the risk of ostracism, marginalization, retribution ‐ this is where abuses like Avital’s grow like moss, or mold. Graduate students know this intuitively; it is written on their bones. They’ve watched as their professors play favorites, as their colleagues get punished for citing an adviser’s rival, as funding, jobs, and prestige are doled out to the most obedient and obsequious. And I posted this because it's no longer true just for "liberal arts" The American university knows only the language of extortion. "Tell," it purrs, curling its fingers around your IV drip, "and we’ll eat you alive." Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2018-09-02 |
