<a href="https://fordschool.umich.edu/faculty/dominique-adams-santos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dominique Adams-Santos</a> is the Associate Director of the Center for Racial Justice and Associate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan.
The <a href="https://racialjustice.umich.edu/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Racial Justice</a> “aims to foster deep relationships between research and advocacy to uncover the voices of the unjustly silenced, challenge us to live up to our democratic ideals, and offer sound policy prescriptions for a more equitable and just society.”
As part of her work with the center, Adams-Santos co-teaches a fall speaker series titled “<a href="https://racialjustice.umich.edu/programs-events/racial-foundations-public-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Racial Foundations of Public Policy</a>.” This series is open to everyone and “focuses on the historical roots and impact of race in shaping public policy as both a disciplinary field and as a course of action.”
According to her university profile, Adams-Santos’ research focuses on “questions of sexuality, intimacy, and belonging in the digital era.” Specifically, she is interested in “how individuals navigate the racial, gender, and sexual politics of digital and urban landscapes in their search for intimacy and community.”
Adams-Santos wrote a paper titled, “<a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1363460720902720" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘Something a bit more personal’: Digital storytelling and intimacy among queer Black women</a>.” In her work, she describes the importance of coming-out stories but claims “much of the extant literature on coming-out stories examines narratives by white, middle-class gay men and lesbians.”
She believes that “critical inquiry into coming-out stories told by privileged and queer subjects points to the formulaic and normative characteristics of their narratives, where sexual difference is downplayed or challenged.”
Her paper looks at whether queer black women “conform to or depart from the ‘coming-out formula story.’” She argues that queer black women “complicate the coming-out formula” with their use of “intimate candor &#8211; the performative and discursive strategy of publicly revealing interior, often sexually explicit, aspects of the self.”
Adams-Santos is also a Postdoctoral Fellow with the <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/ncid/antiracism-collaborative.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racism Collaborative</a> at the University of Michigan’s National Center for Institutional Diversity. The collaborative is part of the provost’s Anti-Racism Initiative. One aspect of this initiative is a “faculty cluster hiring program that prioritizes scholarly expertise on racism &#8211; at systemic, institutional, and/or interpersonal levels.”

<a href="https://fordschool.umich.edu/faculty/betsey-stevenson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Betsey Stevenson</a> is a Professor of Public Policy and a Professor of Economics at the University of Michigan. Her list of courses taught includes “Microeconomics for Public Policy” and “Economics of the Public Sector.” She also served as Chief Economist of the United States Department of Labor from 2010 to 2011.

In 2018, Stevenson partnered with <a href="https://jdp.princeton.edu/people/hanna-zlotnick" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hannah Zlotnick</a> to research gender ratios in economic textbooks. The university <a href="https://fordschool.umich.edu/news/2018/econ-textbook-study-stevenson-zlotnick-highlights-gender-bias-against-women" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> — titled “Econ textbook study by Stevenson, Zlotnick highlights gender bias against women” — that said: 

“The work, which has already garnered significant media attention, exposes an underrepresentation of women in American economics textbooks. Stevenson contends that remedying this issue could be key in closing the field’s stubborn gender gap … Excluding economists from their analysts, Steven and Zlotnick found that 70 percent of people referenced were men.”

The publication <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tIVrw2di5wqiMjoZTp0VDpLrBgwqQWja/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">linked to a textbook presentation</a> authored by Stevenson and Zlotnick. A few examples are found below.

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/history/people/faculty/jrcole.html">Dr. Juan Cole</a> is a Professor of History at the University of Michigan. He believes right-wing Jews and an “Islamophobic network” were “a key influence” to the shooting that killed nine people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. He has also argued that recognizing Israel as a state is racist.

Assistant Professor of Education, <a href="https://marsal.umich.edu/directory/faculty-staff/charles-hf-davis-iii" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles H.F. Davis III</a>, once appeared on the Jesse Lee Peterson podcast to discuss race relations in America and the pro-Palestinian movement that was taking place on college campuses. 

In the following discussion from 2018, the host pointed out how Davis included several hashtags (#) on his <a href="http://hfdavis.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, such as #FreePalestine and #FreethePeople. When asked why he did not include #FreetheJews on that list, Davis replied: 
“Well, I guess we could talk about in a particular context, and I think we have to think about what Jews we’re talking about. I’ve chosen to take those particular political stances based on the historical record, based on the social and political context that we find ourselves in today … 
“Just to be clear I’m very much opposed to anti-semitism in any particular form or fashion, but I wouldn’t want to conflate any of the [hashtags] that you just mentioned to suggest otherwise.”

For years, Davis’ <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hfdavis/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media</a> feeds have been full of racial ideology as well as anti-Jewish and anti-police rhetoric.

When asked if he wanted to “eliminate whiteness,” Davis said, “I want to destroy whiteness to be more specific.” When asked to define whiteness, he declared:
“Whiteness is an ideological construct … it’s a set of behaviors, beliefs, and practices that not only normalize the white way of seeing the world but white way of doing society. That structure has proven to be violent towards people of color … 
“So, I think that needs to be destroyed in order for the liberation of the people of color from white supremacy to take place. Now, to be sure, that is not to conflate whiteness with white people — although all white people do benefit from whiteness.”

Charles H.F. Davis is an Assistant Professor at the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the University of Michigan. He previously taught at the University of Southern California. According to his university biography, Davis’s research and teaching focuses on, “race and racism, systems of oppression, and structures of domination in U.S. higher education and its social contexts.”

Davis previously rose to notoriety in 2017 for a series of <a href="https://twitter.com/hfdavis?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">racially inflammatory tweets</a>. As reported by <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a>, he tweeted that “whiteness” must be destroyed and alluded to the necessity of violence in confronting it.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1308 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-04-21T135205.941-e1619038447297-1024x278.png" alt="" width="580" height="157" />

The background photo of his Twitter account at the time featured a black woman pointing a gun at a pig that clearly represents a caricature of a police officer. 

When contacted <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/usc-professor-defends-tweet-promoting-violence-whiteness/">The College Fix</a> over his remarks, Davis responded, “To be clear, I am decidedly against whiteness as a social and political ideology, which systematically marginalize and disenfranchise people of color from opportunities for societal advancement. In addition, I am against the institution of policing, which has historically and continuously enacted racial terror, sexual violence, and economic exploitation against racial minorities, women and LGBTQ communities, and economically disadvantaged working-class people.”

When asked if any of these tweets might make students uncomfortable, Davis <a href="http://hfdavis.com/blog/an-interview-with-a-conservative">responded</a> that any discomfort experienced by his white students is a result of their “white fragility.” 

Davis had previously advocated for the right of students to disrupt conservative speakers on campus. In the wake of <a href="https://badgerherald.com/news/2016/11/17/conservative-pundit-ben-shapiro-lectures-to-turbulent-crowd-on-safe-spaces-freedom-of-speech/">protesters heckling</a> Ben Shapiro’s lecture at the University of Wisconsin Madison, school regents approved a <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">policy</a> to suspend or expel students that purposefully disrupt events. Davis’s subsequent <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-university-of-wisconsin-protest-punishment-20171006-story.html">op-ed</a> at Inside Higher Ed argued that this only reinforced white supremacy: “To be clear, it is a decision that reinforces institutionalized white supremacy -- and other oppressive forms of systemic power.” Davis argues that conservative speakers like Shapiro have hijacked the First Amendment to push “white supremacist agendas.”  

Davis’s website, which is listed by the University of Michigan on his biography, <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51ab9fa0e4b06a38e604420a/t/5edaf71d1ab0434751b2e960/1591408468354/HF+Davis+%E2%80%93%C2%A0EPK.pdf">advertises </a>that he has taught the issues of “ race, racism, and systemic oppression in education and society” to over “7,000 students, educators and institutional leaders.” The <a href="http://hfdavis.com/">home page</a> of the site also features links to organizations that advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement, abolishing the police, and boycotting the nation of Israel.

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/ac/people/faculty/jchl.html">John Cheney-Lippold</a> is an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan whose work focuses on Internet Studies, Cultural Studies, and Algorithm Studies.

Lippold made<a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=11317"> headlines</a> for his blatant discrimination against a pro-Israel student at Michigan. After agreeing to the initial request, he refused to write a letter of recommendation for her to study abroad in Israel due to his adherence to the academic boycott of the nation. In a now released email exchange, Lippold replied to the student’s request:

“As you may know, many university departments have pledged an academic boycott against Israel in support of Palestinians living in Palestine. This boycott includes writing letters of recommendations for students to study there.” 

In a<a href="https://nypost.com/2018/09/20/professor-draws-ire-after-declining-to-help-student-study-in-israel/"> statement</a> released by <a href="https://palestinelegal.org/">Palestine Legal</a>, he only proceeded to double-down and even compared Israel to Apartheid-era South Africa:

“I support the Palestinian boycott call because I am appalled at Israel’s continuing violation of Palestinian rights, and our government’s support for those violations...If a student had wanted to do a study abroad at an institution in Apartheid South Africa, I would have declined to write a letter for her as well.”

Professor Silke-Maria Weineck wrote a September 6, 2022, op-ed for The Chronicle of Higher Education titled <a href="https://archive.ph/GBDq6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Colleges Must Stop Trying to Appease the Right.”</a> The article begins by criticizing a university dean who had a conversation with a professor after a parent complained about one of the professor’s tweets. Weineck calls on her peers to stand up to Republicans, writing:
“Under the circumstances, it is not merely acceptable to denounce the GOP - clearly, loudly, profanely. It is our ethical and professional duty.” 
She goes on to say that the Republican Party has a “longstanding contempt for knowledge and expertise” in the fields of “history, public health, climate change, or ecology.”

She argues that colleges have an obligation to protect their faculty, staff, and students, saying:
“They must clearly insist on our people’s right not to be forced into pregnancy, not to be demeaned or disadvantaged due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, and to have all of their histories studied and told.” 
She finishes her opinion piece by quoting Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance when he said that “professors are the enemy.” Weineck responds: “He is correct. He is our enemy, and we must be his. I welcome his hatred. As a modest start, I suggest that we no longer respond to Republicans who complain about professional tweets with anything other than a short form letter. I would be happy to draft it.”

This is not Weineck’s first anti-Republican opinion piece. In May 2021, she wrote another op-ed for The Chronicle of Higher Education titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210520190416/https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-tenure-denial-of-nikole-hannah-jones-is-craven-and-dangerous" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Tenure Denial of Nikole Hannah-Jones is Craven and Dangerous.”</a> She argues that Nikole Hannah-Jones was denied tenure at the University of North Carolina because of Republicans and the “governors and trustees within the UNC system in particular.” She writes:
“Universities hire faculty members who work on the history of racism and share Hannah-Jones’s broad convictions and investments all the time, and regents, trustees, and governors do not get involved. Nikole Hannah-Jones is different because she drove the conversation into places where it could not be belittled or contained.” 
Dr. Weineck believes <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hannah-Jones</a> is overqualified for tenure, saying: “The woman has a Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur grant, and she spearheaded what is probably the most effective public-history effort in the history of the country, “The 1619 Project.””

The 1619 Project, originally a series of essays published in the New York Times and later developed into a book, “aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative.” It argues that America was not founded in 1776 but in 1619, when the first enslaved Americans were brought to the Virginia colony, now the state of Virginia.

Weineck states that: “across the country, the GOP and its lickspittles have decided, in part precisely because of the success of “The 1619 Project,” that the correct way to address systemic racism is not only to deny its existence but to legally mandate this denial.” She argues that “universities are imperfect institutions, far more conservative than their reputation, and not nearly the force for good they imagine themselves to be.”

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/soc/people/faculty/erin-cech.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erin Cech</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Associate Professor by courtesy in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Professor Cech authored a study titled “<a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abo1558" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The intersectional privilege of white able-bodied heterosexual men in STEM</a>.” In this paper, she <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-studies-intersectional-privilege-of-white-able-bodied-heterosexual-men-in-stem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared the experiences of “white able-bodied heterosexual men (WAHM)”</a> in the STEM fields to 31 other intersectional groups. Her study concludes that “...members of all other 31 intersectional groups experience significantly less social inclusion in their STEM jobs on average than WAHM experience….”

In a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/privileges-confirmed-for-straight-white-men-working-in-stem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan News</a> press release, Cech said: “The findings show the importance of encouraging white men to recogize the privileges they may have access to, and commit to serving as allies to fight for change at the organizational and structural level.”
“It is everyone’s responsibility - advantaged and disadvantaged alike - to fight for more equitable climates and practices in STEM.”  
Cech wrote a study in June 2017 titled “<a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2378023117712395" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rugged Meritocratists: The Role of Overt Bias and the Meritocratic Ideology in Trump Supporters’ Opposition to Social Justice Efforts</a>.” Her work aimed to determine “whether and why Trump supporters are more likely than other Americans to oppose social justice efforts.”

She concludes that “Trump supporters are indeed more opposed to social justice efforts.” She says that Trump supporters “express greater overt race, class, and gender bias, yet this bias does not explain their opposition”:
“Rather, many Trump supporters are “rugged meritocratists” who oppose these efforts because they believe U.S. society is already fair. To expand support for social justice efforts, rugged meritocratists must first be convinced that systemic inequalities still exist.”

<a href="https://soe.umich.edu/directory/faculty-staff/deborah-loewenberg-ball" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deborah Loewenberg Ball</a> is the William H. Payne Collegiate Professor of Education and former dean of the School of Education at the University of Michigan. According to her university profile, Ball says her research focuses on “leveraging the power of teaching to disrupt racism, marginalization, and inequity.”

Bell was featured in a July 2021 episode of the <a href="https://gsehd.gwu.edu/edfix-ts-ep23" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EdFix Podcast</a>, where she argued that mathematics is racist. She claims that math is a “Harbor for whiteness” and said,
“...what’s also very difficult is to get people to see how the very nature of the knowledge and who’s produced it, and what has counted as Mathematics is itself also dominated by whiteness and by racism.” 
To provide an example of this racism, she states:
“This is really important because we do see patterns about who succeeds in Math in this country and it’s overwhelmingly white and Asian. It’s overwhelmingly still male once you get on with Mathematics.” 
She continues:
“So how about noticing that and being willing to open ourselves up to the question of how racism has permeated Mathematics and the way it’s represented in school and take the time to unfold that and to figure out what that would mean for looking at a better way of a curriculum and the pedagogy of Math in school.” 
Professor Ball wrote a March 2021 op-ed for the Detroit Free Press titled, <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/opinion/contributors/2021/03/21/why-school-isnt-safe-place-every-child/6937638002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why school isn’t a safe place for every child.”</a> In this article, she argues that schools are often unsafe for children of color and that COVID provided an opportunity for “many Black and Brown children to be out of the white gaze of punishment and deficit views” which “was a welcome respite from fear and control.”

She also argues that the curriculum in schools has been “unsafe,” writing:
“The images, knowledge, people and values that permeate history, science and art, as well as mathematics, language and text are harmful. They distort the experiences of Indigenous people, of Black communities and of immigrant groups. They reinscribe whiteness, heteronormativity and English as normal and desirable.” 
She concludes her op-ed by stating that schools need to “take a fuller view of the safety needed to dismantle anti-Blackness and white supremacy in our educational systems” as students and staff return to in-person schooling.

<a href="https://michigan.law.umich.edu/faculty-and-scholarship/our-faculty/barbara-l-mcquade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbara McQuade</a> is a professor at the University of Michigan Law School. According to her university profile, her interests include criminal law, criminal procedure, national security, data privacy, and civil rights. She was appointed by President Obama and served as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan from 2010 to 2017.

McQuade has been outspoken about her belief that former President Trump should be charged with manslaughter for the events that took place on January 6, 2021. On July 16, she wrote an op-ed for MSNBC titled, <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/did-trump-commit-manslaughter-jan-6-committee-doj-should-find-n1297314" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The case for charging Trump with manslaughter.”</a>

In this article, McQuade argues that the “loss of life was predictable in light of the size of the mob, their emotional state and their use of force.” She believes Trump knew the crowd was armed and said, “Unlike most members of the public who have no duty to take action to prevent a crime, a president has a constitutional duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.””

She concludes her comments by writing:
“Donald Trump once said he could “stand in the middle [of] Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and not lose any voters. Can he also cause the deaths of five people and not lose his liberty?” 
She tweeted a link to her op-ed on October 25, 2022 with the caption, “Here is my analysis of involuntary manslaughter charges for Trump. This theory is probably a bridge too far for DOJ, but failing to a [sic] call off the mob when he knew they were armed and angry makes the resulting deaths at the Capitol reasonably forseeable.”

McQuade is also outspoken about her beliefs on gun control. In an <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/america-s-gun-infatuation-threat-supreme-court-could-make-it-n1283362" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC op-ed,</a> she wrote “America’s infatuation with guns is a national security threat.” She states: “I was one of 30 former national security officials to sign on to an amicus brief arguing that unrestricted access to concealable firearms poses a great threat to public safety.” She ended the piece by claiming, “...like all rights, those described in Second Amendment are not absolute.”

In a TIME article, titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220204035713/https://time.com/6122142/kyle-rittenhouse-verdict/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict Makes Us All Less Safe,”</a> she poses the question:
“Looking at this case broadly, how can it be that our laws permit a teenager to escape criminal liability after he travels from out of state to a scene of civil unrest, violates a curfew specifically designed to keep people off the streets, and ostentatiously carries with him an assault weapon that results in deadly harm?” 
She goes on to argue that Rittenhouse will become the “poster boy for right-wing extremists and politicians.” She justifies this statement by saying, “Rep. Matt Gaetz has already stated that Rittenhouse would make a good congressional intern.”

She claims the Rittenhouse verdict will “be a larger message to society that we should embrace vigilante justice” and will “promote irresponsible use of assault weapons under the banner of the Second Amendment.” Therefore, she believes the verdict makes everyone “less safe.”

She also served as the Director of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) from 2017 to 2022.

Professor Kirkland is very outspoken about her pro-choice beliefs. In response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, she was featured in a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-u-m-experts-available-to-discuss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Michigan News</a> article titled “Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade: U-M experts available to discuss.”

She stated that “abortion access is about to be dramatically restricted across large swaths of the United States.” She said that people will be forced “to give birth against their will” and that some “will die from pregnancy complications.” She added:
“This is by far the most radical right-wing majority we have ever seen on the Supreme Court, and so I am wondering whether and when they will take further steps like declaring that a fetus is a person, making all abortions illegal no matter what the state would like to do, or removing rights of access to same-sex marriage or contraception.” 
Kirkland has also been outspoken about her beliefs that everyone should get the COVID vaccine. In a Michigan Advance article titled, <a href="https://michiganadvance.com/2021/03/02/how-the-anti-covid-vaccine-movement-mobilized-in-michigan-before-anyone-ever-got-their-first-shot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“How the anti-COVID vaccine movement mobilized in Michigan before anyone ever got their first shot,”</a> she states:
“I do see some new things [about the anti-vaccine movement], and that is the move from a feminized, mother-focused, natural living focus to this highly masculinized, anti-mask, gun rights mobilization.”
She further argued that the anti-vaccine movement has an “inner core that’s probably realistically unreachable” and is dominated by “overwhelming whiteness” and “fundamentally led by the right-wing.”

Wallace and Janet Jeffries Collegiate Professor of Reproductive Health, and Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan. According to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/post-roe-task-force-launched-by-university-of-michigan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a>, Harris is also the medical director for a regional Planned Parenthood.

Dr. Harris performs late-term abortions in which the baby is brutally dismembered. <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/abortionist-lisa-harris-dismembering-sad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Live Action</a> reports that in an article written for <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18772087/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reproductive Health Matters</a>, Dr. Harris recounts performing an abortion while pregnant with her own daughter. She writes:
“[I] was more interested than usual in seeing the fetal parts when I was done, since they would so closely resemble those of my own fetus. I went about doing the procedure as usual, removed the laminaria I had placed earlier and confirmed I had adequate dilation. I … picked up my forceps and began to remove the fetus in parts, as I always did. I felt lucky that this one was already in the breech position - it would make grasping small parts (legs and arms) a little easier.” 
“With my first pass of the forceps, I grasped an extremity and began to pull it down. I could see a small foot hanging from the teeth of my forceps. With a quick tug, I separated the leg. Precisely at that moment, I felt a kick - a fluttery “thump, thump” in my own uterus. It was one of the first times I felt fetal movement. There was a leg and foot in my forceps, and a “thump, thump” in my abdomen. Instantly, tears were streaming from my eyes … Doing second trimester abortions did not get easier after my pregnancy; in fact, dealing with little infant parts of my born baby only made dealing with dismembered fetal parts sadder.” 
In a <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/abortionist-lisa-harris-dismembering-sad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video recorded at the National Abortion Federation convention</a>, Dr. Harris was asked a question from a pro-choice activist about pictures of aborted babies. She responded:
“[I] actually think that we should be less about denying the reality of those images. More about acknowledging, that yeah, that’s kind of true. … we might actually both agree that there’s violence in here, ask me why I come to work every day. Let’s just give them all, the violence, it’s a person, killing - let’s just give them all that.” 
In June 2022, the University of Michigan announced the <a href="https://record.umich.edu/articles/university-creates-task-force-to-focus-on-abortion-access/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">creation of a task force to focus on abortion access.</a> Dr. Harris, who will co-chair the group, said in a press release that she is concerned about an increased birthrate in the post-Roe era:
“We can also expect to see an increase in the birthrate in the state - some estimates are as high as a 17% increase - and it is not clear that we or others have capacity to manage a dramatic shift like this.”

<a href="https://www.si.umich.edu/people/oliver-haimson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oliver Haimson</a> is an Assistant Professor of Information at the University of Michigan. According to his university biography, he conducts “social computing research focused on envisioning and designing trans technologies, social media content moderation and marginalized populations, and changing identities on social media during life transitions.”

In 2021, Haimson was the lead author of a study that looked at what types of social media users have “content and accounts removed more frequently than others.” The results showed three types of users have <a href="https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3479610" target="_blank" rel="noopener">content removed more frequently than others</a>: political conservatives, transgender people, and black people. However, Haimson concludes:
“Conservative participants’ removals often involved harmful content removed according to site guidelines to create safe spaces with accurate information, while transgender and Black participants’ removals often involved content related to expressing their marginalized identities that was removed despite following site policies or fell into content moderation gray areas.” 
Haimson was quoted in a November 2022 article titled, <a href="https://www.them.us/story/elon-musk-twitter-right-wing-death-spiral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“After Two Weeks, Elon Musk’s Twitter Is Already in a Right-Wing Death Spiral.”</a> He alleged conservative users “tend to post more hate speech and misinformation” than other users and claims:
“Trans and queer people face substantial levels of online harassment. In the absence of well-enforced moderation policies that consider the unique challenges that trans people encounter online, harassment is likely to increase and make the site uninhabitable for many trans users.” 
Professor Haimson was also <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14680777.2019.1678505" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outspoken on Tumblr’s 2018 decision to ban nudity</a> and “adult” content. He argued Tumblr had been a trans technology because it “allowed erotic content needed for intersectional trans community building.” After Tumblr’s policy change, Haimson stated: “Tumblr’s ban sent a clear signal to trans communities that they were no longer welcome.”

Haimson is also a <a href="https://www.appliedtransstudies.org/about/fellows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senior Fellow at the Center for Applied Transgender Studies (CATS)</a>, “the leading academic organization dedicated to scholarship on the social, cultural, and political conditions of transgender lives.” According to the <a href="https://www.appliedtransstudies.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">center’s website</a>, their mission is to inform “policy-making and public discourse in ways that improve quality of life for the transgender community.”

According to her university profile, her research focuses on “critical algorithm studies and cultural studies of race, gender, popular culture and identity in digital spaces.”

Professor Williams is outspoken about her disdain for white women. In an article for The Guardian titled <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/27/karen-race-white-women-black-americans-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The year of Karen: how a meme changed the way Americans talked about racism,”</a> she wrote: “We as a culture have adopted this stance that white women are more virtuous and not complicit in upholding racism in particular.” She then provides guidelines for how white women can “avoid being a Karen:”
-”Recognize the privilege and history of being a white woman in this society”
-”Avoid calling the police on people of color unless someone is in imminent danger of harm”
-”Understand that it’s just not always about you, period. People are not out to get you for the most part, people are not trying to hurt you or harm your property or make you uncomfortable. You’re not that special, Karen. You’re not that special.” 
Williams authored a paper titled, <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2056305120981047" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Black Memes Matter: #LivingWhileBlack With Becky and Karen.”</a> She writes, “The summer of 2020 highlighted the inability to live while Black in the United States.” She adds:
“In this article, I argue that White women engage an extralegal type of patrolling, policing, and surveillance to regulate Black bodies in public spaces and uphold White supremacist notions of law and order.” 
She further argues that white women use “polite and empty apologies … to evade racial guilt and the stigma associated with open racism.”

Williams was also featured in an article for Mic titled <a href="https://www.mic.com/life/are-your-dating-preferences-racist-82343271" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Are your dating preferences racist?”</a> She argues “a lot of our social behaviors are deeply rooted in ideologies about race, even if it’s very implicitly, even if you’re not thinking about it.”

According to his university profile, he teaches a course titled “Health Impacts of Law Enforcement Violence in the U.S.” This course “focuses on the harms of law enforcement on the individual, family, and community levels and asks what we, as researchers and advocates, can do to address it.”

In November 2021, Lopez and fellow professors Paul Fleming and Daphne Watkins, <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/ncid/news-events/all-news/antiracism-collaborative/arc-funding-resources/antiracism-precedents-for-action-grant-announcement-2021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received a grant</a> from the University of Michigan’s <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/ncid/antiracism-collaborative.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racism Collaborative</a>. Their project proposal was titled, “Anti-Racist Action by Cities and Communities to Respond to Racial Police Violence.” They described the project as a “mixed methods study of the implementation of a municipal resolution to develop an unarmed crisis response program to reduce the interactions between armed police and community members.”

Lopez is also a founding member of the <a href="https://www.reenvisionoursafety.org/about.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coalition for Re-Envisioning Our Safety (CROS)</a>, a “multiracial group” that “care[s] deeply about transformative justice and building care-based safety in our community.” The group says they “fully support a non-police/unarmed response” and claim they have written an “effective proposal” to accomplish this goal.

The <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/police-can-make-a-crisis-worse-the-public-needs-alternatives-in-an-emergency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">main aspects of the CROS plan</a> include that the:
-”Unarmed response plan program be supported politically and funded by city government”
-”Be separate from law enforcement and the criminal legal system” 
-”Include a public phone number separate from 911” 
Speaking on behalf of CROS, Lopez told <a href="https://www.wxyz.com/news/7-in-depth/michigan-coalition-aims-to-provide-community-led-non-police-response-to-public-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WXYZ</a>:
“When a gun is present, there’s always the capacity for it to escalate to violence. And no matter how much you want to reduce the odds that might happen, it is still possible when that gun is there and not possible when it is not.” 
Lopez has also spoken out about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In an article for <a href="https://news.umich.edu/supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-u-m-experts-available-to-discuss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan News</a>, Lopez states:
“Public health research is clear that access to abortion is part of a full suite of reproductive health care. Eliminating abortion access will increase cycles of poverty, criminalize pregnancy, and unquestionably lead to maternal mortality. As is the case with all regressive health care policies, the burden of morbidity and mortality will be born most heavily by people of color.”

<a href="https://fordschool.umich.edu/faculty/shobita-parthasarathy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shobita Parthasarathy</a> is a Professor of Public Policy and Director of the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program at the University of Michigan.

In September 2021, the Texas Heartbeat Bill took effect, banning abortion once a heartbeat is detected. In a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/texas-near-total-abortion-ban-u-m-experts-can-discuss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan News</a> article, Parathasarathy was outspoken about her pro-choice beliefs, stating:
“The Supreme Court’s recent decision on abortion is likely to exacerbate inequalities at a time when we are supposed to be trying to enhance equity in our public policymaking.” 
She continued:
“With this law, more privileged women will still be able to access abortions by traveling out of state, while those without the means will likely be forced to have children. They will also have to bear the psychological and financial burdens of this, and so, too, will their families and succeeding generations.” 
Parthasarathy believes banning abortions after six weeks is “likely to entrench poverty and inequality.”

In November 2022, the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy announced that Parthasarathy would be <a href="https://fordschool.umich.edu/news/2022/u-m-online-course-centers-equity-and-justice-technology-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teaching a new course she created, titled “Justice and Equity in Technology Policy.”</a> This course will study “how injustices can become embedded in technology and associated policies” because “technologies reflect and reinforce social biases towards women, people of color, disabled people, and other marginalized communities.”

Parthasarathy commented:
“Technology and technology policy have crucial roles to play in making the world equitable and just. But to achieve this, we need new generations of technologists, policymakers, and civil society advocates who understand technology in a nuanced way and know where and how to produce change.”

Professor Harlow is  outspoken about her pro-choice beliefs. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Harlow was quoted in a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-u-m-experts-available-to-discuss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan News</a> article:
“The Supreme Court decision reflects a woeful misrepresentation of history and disregard for the context of many women’s lives.” 
She claims:
“Recent laws banning abortion place in danger the health and lives of women who miscarry and are without access to safe abortion. These laws will lead to an increase in maternal morbidity and mortality, they will not stop abortion.” 
Harlow believes that <a href="https://news.umich.edu/25-years-of-research-shows-insidious-effect-of-racism-on-black-womens-menopausal-transition-health/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">structural racism explains the health disparities</a> between black and white women. She led a study that looked at 25 years of research from the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN) and compared menopausal transitions for black women and white women. She writes:
“Our analysis suggests that the enduring influence of structural racism - differential access to the goods, services and opportunities of society by race - is a major contributor to the health disparities between Black and white women in the midlife.” 
Harlow says it’s “clear that discrimination and structural racism play an important role in health broadly but getting the full story is difficult.” She claims that black women have harder experiences with menopause and attributes it to:
“...greater probability of hot flashes but less probability of treatment for hot flashes, greater risk of hypertension but less treatment for hypertension, greater risk of depression but less treatment for depression.”

Stapp Collegiate Professor of Environmental Education and Samuel A. Graham Dean of the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan.

According to his university biography, Overpeck has published over 220 papers on climate and the environmental sciences. He served as a lead author for the 2007 and the 2010-2014 climate assessments published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

In an op-ed for <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/596066-a-shift-to-clean-energy-would-halt-russias-petro-thuggery-and-more/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill</a>, he wrote, “Fossil fuels are the main cause of climate change and increased climate hazards.” He claims:
“We know this with high confidence: Eliminating fossil fuels from all we do is the most important step toward halting climate change.” 
Overpeck serves on Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/appointments/oma/all/1/council-on-climate-solutions#:~:text=The%20Council%20on%20Climate%20Solutions,%2C%20Great%20Lakes%2C%20and%20Energy." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Council on Climate Solutions</a>.

According to <a href="https://michiganadvance.com/2022/11/23/as-cop27-falls-short-u-s-policies-position-michigan-to-meet-healthy-climate-goals-expert-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan Advance</a>, the plan “calls for achieving economy-wide carbon neutrality in the state, reducing Michigan’s greenhouse gas emissions to zero by no later than 2050.” Overpeck says the plan is the “<a href="https://www.michiganbusiness.org/news/2022/12/climate-stability-and-policies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aggressive climate action needed</a> to stave off climate change disaster in Michigan.”

Overpeck has described climate change as the “<a href="https://record.umich.edu/articles/climate-change-and-michigan-challenges-and-opportunities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defining global problem of the 21st century</a>.” He was quoted in an Associated Press article titled, “<a href="https://apnews.com/article/science-business-congress-climate-and-environment-government-politics-8357e7d993b5e1a1144eb2643b786a33" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republicans tout benefits of fossil fuels at climate talks</a>.” He stated:
“To solve the climate crisis we have to stop emitting carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. The production and use of natural gas does both, so we have to stop using natural gas as soon as we can.”

<a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/comm/people/regular-faculty/jpasek.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Josh Pasek</a> is an Associate Professor of Communication and Media and Political Science at the University of Michigan. He serves as a Faculty Associate at the Center for Political Studies and Associate Director of the Michigan Institute for Data Science. According to his university profile, his research “explores how new media and psychological processes each shape political attitudes, public opinion, and political behaviors.”

After the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked to the press, Pasek <a href="https://twitter.com/jmping/status/1521511737249484800" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> it was “likely to be a healthcare disaster and a slippery slope for the courts.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Today's news is likely to be a healthcare disaster and a slippery slope for the courts. But even though the effect will be increased policing of women's bodies (by men), the line that "this is an attempt by men to oppress women" is unpersuasive. A quick data 🧵 on why:
— Josh Pasek (@jmping) <a href="https://twitter.com/jmping/status/1521511737249484800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 3, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Pasek was quoted in a Michigan News article titled, “<a href="https://news.umich.edu/supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-u-m-experts-available-to-discuss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade: U-M experts available to discuss</a>.” He said the decision is likely to put “Republican legislatures in conflict with the majority of Americans, who generally think abortion is a complicated issue and should be legal under at least some circumstances.”

He adds there’s a “growing perception that the courts are partisan actors” and “one major effect of the decision will be a loss of perceived governmental legitimacy at both the state and federal levels.”

Professor Pasek was featured in an October 2022 article titled, “<a href="https://beltmag.com/henry-ford-donald-trump-and-mass-marketing-bigotry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Henry Ford, Donald Trump, and Mass Marketing Bigotry</a>.” The author of the article writes that Ford and Trump are “two self-involved sore losers, both inclined to find scapegoats for America’s problems, neither inclined to take responsibility for their own words and deeds.” Pasek adds to this by saying:
“There is and has long been a virulently racist and xenophobic element to American electorate. Ford wanted to tap into that. It is clear to me Trump has found leverage in the same forces.” 
In June 2021, Pasek signed a “statement of concern” titled <a href="https://www.newamerica.org/political-reform/statements/statement-of-concern/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Threats to American Democracy and the Need for National Voting and Election Administration Standards.”</a> The letter was circulated by New America, a liberal think tank, and signed by professors from across the country. The statement says:
“State legislatures have advanced initiatives that curtail voting methods now preferred by Democratic-leaning constituencies, such as early voting and mail voting. Republican lawmakers have openly talked about ensuring the “purity” and “quality” of the vote, echoing arguments widely used across the Jim Crow South as reasons for restricting the Black vote.” 
The letter acknowledges it is “always far better for major democracy reforms to be bipartisan,” but argues that in the “current hyper-polarized political context such broad bipartisan support is sadly lacking.” The statement ends with a call to action:
“We urge members of Congress to do whatever is necessary - including suspending the filibuster - in order to pass national voting and election administration standards that both guarantee the vote to all Americans equally, and prevent state legislatures from manipulating the rules in order to manufacture the result they want.”

<a href="https://fordschool.umich.edu/faculty/dominique-adams-santos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dominique Adams-Santos</a> is the Associate Director of the Center for Racial Justice and Associate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan.

The <a href="https://racialjustice.umich.edu/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Racial Justice</a> “aims to foster deep relationships between research and advocacy to uncover the voices of the unjustly silenced, challenge us to live up to our democratic ideals, and offer sound policy prescriptions for a more equitable and just society.”

As part of her work with the center, Adams-Santos co-teaches a fall speaker series titled “<a href="https://racialjustice.umich.edu/programs-events/racial-foundations-public-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Racial Foundations of Public Policy</a>.” This series is open to everyone and “focuses on the historical roots and impact of race in shaping public policy as both a disciplinary field and as a course of action.”

According to her university profile, Adams-Santos’ research focuses on “questions of sexuality, intimacy, and belonging in the digital era.” Specifically, she is interested in “how individuals navigate the racial, gender, and sexual politics of digital and urban landscapes in their search for intimacy and community.”

Adams-Santos wrote a paper titled, “<a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1363460720902720" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘Something a bit more personal’: Digital storytelling and intimacy among queer Black women</a>.” In her work, she describes the importance of coming-out stories but claims “much of the extant literature on coming-out stories examines narratives by white, middle-class gay men and lesbians.”

She believes that “critical inquiry into coming-out stories told by privileged and queer subjects points to the formulaic and normative characteristics of their narratives, where sexual difference is downplayed or challenged.”

Her paper looks at whether queer black women “conform to or depart from the ‘coming-out formula story.’” She argues that queer black women “complicate the coming-out formula” with their use of “intimate candor - the performative and discursive strategy of publicly revealing interior, often sexually explicit, aspects of the self.”

Adams-Santos is also a Postdoctoral Fellow with the <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/ncid/antiracism-collaborative.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racism Collaborative</a> at the University of Michigan’s National Center for Institutional Diversity.

According to her university profile, she is “widely credited for her research at the intersection of inequality, public policy, and institutions, with a special focus on urban poverty and race, class, and gender studies.”

In an article announcing the launch of the <a href="https://racialjustice.umich.edu/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Racial Justice</a>, Watkins-Hayes <a href="https://www.michigandaily.com/government/i-think-its-long-overdue-ford-school-launches-new-center-for-racial-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">laid out her vision for the initiative</a>:
“When we talk about the Center for Racial Justice, there’s a decidedly intersectional lens. We are thinking about social justice more broadly. We’re thinking about gender and sexuality and religion and class and immigration status because we know that none of us are one thing, and systems don’t operate on just one dimension of inequity.” 
According to the Center’s website, the organization “aims to foster deep relationships between research and advocacy to uncover the voices of the unjustly silenced, challenge us to live up to our democratic ideals, and offer sound policy prescriptions for a more equitable and just society.”

He was hired as part of the Office of the Provost’s <a href="https://provost.umich.edu/initiatives/anti-racism/faculty-hiring-initiative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racism Hiring Initiative</a>.

In October 2022, the University of Michigan announced that they had hired five faculty members with <a href="https://record.umich.edu/articles/five-join-faculty-through-anti-racism-hiring-initiative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expertise in inequality and structural racism</a> as part of the initiative. According to a press release, the initiative’s main goals are to “deepen U-M’s expertise in research, scholarship, creative practice, teaching and engagement on issues of race and racial justice and tangibly impact education and society, all while building on the knowledge and work of current faculty.”

Provost Laurie McCauley stated:
“The importance of this work, building deeper knowledge of systemic inequities and fostering engagement with equity and anti-racism, is very clear. I am eager to welcome the new colleagues the initiative will bring to campus, and to learn more about how all the activity it supports will unfold.” 
In February 2022, Cuyler <a href="https://news.umich.edu/black-history-month-discussion-the-role-of-the-arts-in-the-blacklivesmatter-movement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted a webinar</a> featuring black artists discussing, “The role of the arts in advancing the #BlackLivesMatter movement.” In a press release, Cuyler says:
“I felt compelled by this work because seven generations from now, I don’t want people to be having the same conversations about race. I am committed to doing my part today so that that does not happen.” 
He added:
“For some artists, Blackness is kind of constraining and an encumbrance. So I want to hear from these artists - if they see it as a restrainer or do they see it as a creative wellspring that has yet to even be tapped for all of the creative resources it could be?” 
Cuyler is also the Founder and Principal Consultant of <a href="https://cuylerconsulting.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cuyler Consulting, LLC</a>, “a Black-owned arts consultancy that partners with cultural organizations to maximize their performance and community relevance through access, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI).” The organization’s “Theory of Change” states:
“WE believe that discrimination, marginalization, oppression, and subjugation have negatively impacted cultural organizations’ performance and community relevance costing them millions if not billions in annual revenue. With rigorous evidence-based coaching and education, cultural organizations can transform into anti-oppressive and people-centered cultural organizations committed to creative justice.”

The syllabus also states:
“Social Justice and Social Change issues will be addressed by helping students to critically assess their commitment to and skills for enacting change towards social justice goals.” 
A journal assignment for the course asks students to describe how they “self-identify with regard to race and/or ethnicity” and relate it to the course’s “developing narratives about Race, Racism and Anti-racist practices.”

According to the syllabus, students are <a href="https://ssw.umich.edu/sites/default/files/documents/course-outlines/20232/F22SW759001.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">required to attend</a> all live ENGAGE virtual discussions.

In a recording of the event, Ghazi Edwin says voter ID laws “were purposefully implemented because they disenfranchise the black and brown vote.” She also argues ID laws come from “hysteria” over undocumented immigrant fraud.

“Ann Arbor must be a city that prioritizes racial equity in all that we do. Due to structural racism, and historic and ongoing discriminatory housing policies and practices, we have become one of the most economically segregated cities in the nation.”
Further, she adds:
“From our climate change efforts, housing, policing, social service programs, city governance and services, we must make equity of all marginalized groups a priority that we evaluate and track in a measurable and meaningful way.

According to his university profile, he has “pursued research in three general areas, all of which concern the phenomenon of race or the social experiences of African Americans, and all employ ethnographic, interview-based research methods.”

The <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/social-solutions/about.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Social Solutions</a> has a vision statement that reads, “We envision a world without social inequity and systemic disenfranchisement, where opportunities and resources are more evenly distributed.” The Center focuses on four program areas: “Diversity and Democracy; Slavery and Its Aftermath; Water, Equity and Security; and The Future of Work.”

As part of its Slavery and Its Aftermath project, the Center keeps a <a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/social-solutions/history-and-slavery/reparations-accountability-and-responsibility-index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reparations Accountability and Responsibility Index</a>. The description says,
“Using publicly available financial, environmental, and employment data for the Fortune 500, the Reparations Accountability and Responsibility Index (RARI) makes transparent the actions, not words, of corporations to address racial equity in the world.” 
The Center states their goal for this project is “not to simply identify corporate irresponsibility but to offer offending corporations a path towards transparency and repair, with the hopes of creating a coalition of socially conscious corporations.”

Young was featured in a <a href="https://www.hollandsentinel.com/story/news/politics/2021/08/01/pushback-against-critical-race-theory-rooted-misconceptions/5430923001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Holland Sentinel</a> article titled, “Is the pushback against ‘critical race theory’ rooted in misconceptions?” He believes that much of the criticism against critical race theory (CRT) is “direct opposition to calls for racial justice made in the wake of [George] Floyd’s murder.” Young says:
“Here where I live, I witnessed at least two public marches, where you could count on one hand the number of Black folks marching. They were Black Lives Matter marches, engaged by white Americans, and I think that triggers more than anything else anxiety, because this did not become yet another one of those moments where African Americans expressed indignation about what happened to them at the hand of the police.
“...It became a moment of national consideration. That’s what this past year was all about. Those that are more aggressive about stopping so-called critical race theory, stopping the teaching of racism in schools, in large part, that’s a response to the recognition that America invested in this racial moment.” 
Young was interviewed for a <a href="https://news.umich.edu/u-m-expert-change-wont-happen-overnight-to-improve-race-relations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan News</a> article titled, “Change won’t happen overnight to improve race relations.” He believes that black parents have to warn their children about being killed in regular situations by white citizens. When asked, “Why is this moment different for black children and black parents,” Young states:
“There have historically been conversations in the home with black children, in particular black boys, about how you handle yourself in difficult situations, whether it’s with the police, whether it’s in threatening or dangerous situations. Now the concern is being out in public and how you might handle yourself in everyday business on the street corner, in neighborhoods and in communities.”

<a href="https://sph.umich.edu/faculty-profiles/creary-melissa.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melissa Creary</a> is an Assistant Professor of Global Public Health at the University of Michigan. Her four areas of research interest are “bounded justice, biocultural citizenship, making institutions antiracist, and sickle cell and global health.”

Creary teaches a graduate-level course titled “Culture and Health.” The <a href="https://sph.umich.edu/admissions/courses/instructor.php?InstructorID=mcreary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course syllabus</a> states that students “will critically examine aspects of health and health policy from the state and federal perspective, along the axes of race, ethnicity, culture, and place.” Topics covered in the class include reproductive justice, environmental inequalities, and the social constructions of health.

One of the course requirements is “Remaking and Undoing: The Antiracist Research Project.” For this requirement, “Students will independently choose, develop, research and analyze a topic of their choice to (re)design a project based on a relevant topic inspired by class - guided by Chandra Ford’s praxis for antiracism research.”

In August 2023, Creary and two other researchers received one of seven <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/umich-funds-research-on-anti-racist-health-departments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-racism grants</a> from the University of Michigan’s Office of the Vice President for Research. Trachette Jackson, the associate vice president for research, diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, told Michigan News:
“These grants allow interdisciplinary teams of U-M researchers to extensively study the effects of structural racism across southeast Michigan, which has far-reaching implications for communities across the country.” 
This grant will fund Creary and her co-workers' project—titled “Pilot Testing the <a href="https://record.umich.edu/articles/ovpr-anti-racism-grants-awarded-to-seven-research-teams/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Racial Justice Impact Assessment Tool</a> in a Local Health Department”—and the project goal reads:
“In the first phase of this project, funded by the 2021 cycle of OVPR anti-racism grants, researchers partnered with the Washtenaw County Health Department to identify key opportunities and limits on anti-racist institutional transformation within local health departments. In this next funded phase, the team will pilot and evaluate the co-created Racial Justice Impact Assessment tool and training created as a result of their research.” 
This is not the first project focused on anti-racism that Cleary has been a part of. In 2021, Cleary and co-worker Paul Fleming “began work on a multi-part faculty <a href="https://sph.umich.edu/news/2021posts/faculty-team-galvanizes-anti-racism-in-public-health-education.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">training initiative</a> aimed at confronting racism at the institutional level.” Part of their initiative is an online course known as “Health Equity via Anti-Racist Teaching,” or HEART.

The goal of the course is “to train public health instructors on how to implement anti-racist teaching principles and reduce barriers to anti-racist teaching methods.” Creary said, “When we take the purposeful steps to acknowledge harms associated with the unfair disadvantages and unfair advantages of racist practices, we allow our students of color to be more wholly seen.”

<a href="https://marsal.umich.edu/directory/faculty-staff/april-baker-bell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April Baker-Bell</a> is an Associate Professor in the Marsal Family School of Education at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on “Black Language and literacies, anti-Black racism, and antiracist/pro-Black language pedagogies.”

In November 2023, Baker-Bell <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/niu-hosts-seminar-on-ending-white-linguistic-hegemony/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave a presentation to faculty and graduate students</a> at Northern Illinois University titled “A Workshop Focused On: Linguistic Justice - Moving From Theory to Praxis.”

During the virtual event, Baker-Bell said black students should not be penalized for using “Black Language” and courses should interrogate “white linguistic hegemony and anti-Black linguistic racism.” She claimed the way black language is “devalued in classrooms reflects how Black lives are devalued in the world.”
“Similarly, the way we think about this notion of standard mainstream English is directly connected to the invisible way that White culture is often deemed normal, neutral, and superior in the world.” 
Baker-Bell distributed a workbook to participants that defined “Anti-Black Linguistic Racism”—a term she coined—as “the linguistic violence, persecution, dehumanization, and marginalization that Black language-speakers experience in schools and in everyday life.”

The workbook included multiple exercises intended to give participants the “opportunity to think through how [they] might be complicit in the reproduction of anti-Black racism and anti-Black linguistic racism through curricula, language instruction, pedagogies, practices, and language policies.”

It also provided a model of a linguistic justice course that would help students develop “linguistic consciousness” and “write for linguistic justice.” <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/niu-hosts-seminar-on-ending-white-linguistic-hegemony/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> reports:
“Suggested assignments for the model linguistic justice course include a TikTok or digital animation project on how white linguistic hegemony, anti-black linguistic racism, or black linguistic appropriation are perpetuated by the media.” 
Baker-Bell co-authored a 2020 document, along with five other professors, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/english-professsors-demand-higher-ed-reject-standard-english-language-put-some-respeck-on-black-language/15554" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling to abolish “White Mainstream English.”</a> The document—titled “This Ain’t Another Statement! This is a DEMAND for Black Linguistic Justice!”—used the term “white linguistic supremacy” and suggested English is a language stemming from racism. The document states:
“Socially constructed terms like academic language and standard English are rooted in white supremacy, whiteness, and anti-Blackness and contribute to anti-Black policies (e.g., English only) that are codified and enacted to privilege white linguistic and cultural norms while deeming Black Language inferior.” 
The professors <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/demand-for-black-linguistic-justice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">list the following demands</a>: <img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3373" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screen-Shot-2024-01-03-at-12.03.39-PM-1024x779.png" alt="" width="640" height="487" />

The authors conclude by quoting the three “dreamers/fighters” who created #BlackLivesMatter:
“Black Lives Matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise. It is an affirmation of Black folks’ humanity, our contributions to this society, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression.”

<a href="https://www.middlebury.edu/institute/search?query=Kriner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Kriner</a> is Managing Director of the Accelerationism Research Consortium (ARC), as well as the Director of Strategy, Partnerships and Intelligence at Middlebury’s Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism (CTEC). (Note: as of publication, Kriner&#8217;s faculty profile has been deleted).
In light of a gesture made by Elon Musk during the 47th Presidential Inauguration, Kriner wrote an <a href="https://theconversation.com/musks-inauguration-salute-is-not-the-only-apparent-fascist-signal-from-trumps-administration-248517">article</a> alleging a long-time connection between Nazism and conservatives in American politics. The title of the article is “Musk’s inauguration salute is not the only apparent fascist signal from Trump’s administration.”
Kriner wrote: 
“As a <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=e8ecZu8AAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scholar of far-right extremism</a>, I regularly review instances of coded fascist symbols and other right-wing messages being sent by public figures and their supporters, some more obvious than others.”
Kriner claimed the stage at the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference was shaped in the fashion of an odal rune, which he describes as “an ancient pagan symbol coopted by Germany’s Nazi regime and worn prominently during World War II on the uniforms of the brutal <a href="https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/waffen-ss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Waffen SS</a> units.”
In 2021, MyPillow Founder Mike Lindell discounted a pillow from $49.88 to $14.88, which, according to Kriner, is allegedly “aligned with the 14-word white supremacist slogan and the numerical reference ‘88’ that white supremacists use to mean ‘Heil Hitler’ because H is the eighth letter of the alphabet.”
At the article’s conclusion, Kriner claims these alleged coincidences of “fascism” and fascist symbolism with the American right-wing have a direct connection to Nazi Germany: 
“But as the old saying goes, ‘where there’s smoke there’s fire’ – and in this case the smoke is probably closer to a book-burning bonfire in Berlin than a tiki torch carried in Charlottesville.”
In a 2023 <a href="https://reason.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/DoevMiddleburyComplaint.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a>, Kriner, among other defendants ( several of whom worked with Middlebury College), was accused of labor trafficking and not compensating an independent contractor in the same field of research (terrorism studies) as Kriner. The plaintiff, called Jane Doe in the lawsuit, sued the defendants on 11 counts.  
The plaintiff was initially asked to help Kriner with research in accelerationism:
“Defendant Matthew Kriner introduced himself to Doe on social media. He described himself as a private sector analyst who worked on similar topics. He was interested to learn more about accelerationism because  of her singular expertise on the subject matter…Kriner also  increasingly needed non-public information into her proprietary research to pitch the threat to high-level government officials. Kriner told Doe it ‘would be good to get more granularity from you on it all if you can.’”
In several research articles written by Kriner and defendants, Doe was not given credit or pay for her contributions and involvement in their scholarly work. Yet, she was continually asked for research assistance on following projects, which led to the same outcome for her. Over time, this treatment from the defendants allegedly led to the dilapidation of the plaintiff’s mental health. 
Toward the end of the complaint, the following claim is made: 
“Doe will never be able to return to the workplace or attain a doctorate as she intended due to the severe psychological injuries and enduring trauma caused by the Defendants.”
The case was <a href="http://portal-dc.tylertech.cloud/app/RegisterOfActions/#/A9FD50059C1B644BC03C64C2FF6F0570B090735330CC39DCD734F240CC06C74B23EE8F70682458011D8D106B0687D14A17F9A84303016DAFE983B2CC10EFA67BE210A368F7474E9F156C97AB7474C6EB/anon/portalembed">closed</a> several times despite the plaintiff’s repeated attempts to reopen it. The latest attempt was made in May of 2024, which was denied by Judge Todd E. Edelman.

Nash is <a href="https://antiracism.middcreate.net/people/anti-racist-taskforce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">listed</a> as a member of <a href="https://www.middlebury.edu/announcements/news/2022/05/working-become-anti-racist-institution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Middlebury’s Anti-Racist Taskforce.</a> The taskforce <a href="https://midd.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=1b712b2d-9166-4e7d-9d5a-ad57013956f0&amp;start=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduction video</a> describes racism as “an explicit and highly sophisticated piece of technology.”

In August 2023, Nash <a href="https://www.wfae.org/arts-culture/2023-08-30/with-goodbye-mary-molly-tuttle-extends-country-musics-lineage-of-reproductive-rights-songs-to-the-post-roe-era" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an opinion editorial</a> titled, “With ‘Goodbye Mary,’ Molly Tuttle extends country music’s lineage of reproductive rights songs to the post-Roe era.” Nash writes:
“Jason Aldean’s song ‘Try That in a Small Town’ extols small towns as bastions of conservative values standing up against a litany of violent big-city bogeyman…As an American Studies professor who teaches courses on country music, I am interested in the genre’s competing ‘liberal’ lineage.”
He continued:
“Perhaps the most striking of the new ‘abortion songs’ comes from acoustic guitar wizard Molly Tuttle…With ‘Goodbye Mary’...Tuttle creates an intimate portrait of a woman’s struggle for bodily autonomy that captures the potential terrors of a post-Roe America.”
The <a href="https://www.middlebury.edu/college/people/william-nash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">description</a> of Nash’s “Cultural Work Country Music” course says, “Arguably, aversion to American country music often tracks with class- and race-based assumptions about makers and consumers of this genre…”

<a href="https://www.middlebury.edu/college/people/tara-affolter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tara Affolter</a> is an Associate Professor of Education Studies and the Faculty Director of Equity, Justice &amp; Inclusion at Middlebury College. According to her university profile, Affolter “has over 15 years of experience teaching high school English and theatre while working for racial and social justice within the public schools…” She also serves in Middlebury’s Academic Affairs, “Black Studies,” and Education Studies departments.

In the Fall of 2022, she taught a course titled “Teaching the 1619 Project” with the following description:
“In this course, we will explore various ways to approach teaching The 1619 Project and examine how the project pushes against miseducation within the U.S. education systems. We will also delve into various states’ bans against teaching the 1619 Project and scrutinize how CRT became wrapped in these bans.”
Affolter is the author of several books including “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Through-Fog-Urban-Education-Studies-ebook/dp/B07QSC9VX6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=BU03JAVU00JF&amp;keywords=through+the+fog%3A+towards+inclusive+anti-racist+teaching&amp;qid=1698171833&amp;sprefix=through+the+fog+towards+inclusive+anti-racist+teaching%2Caps%2C112&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=B07QSC9VX6&amp;revisionId=cd77f78c&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Through the Fog: Towards Inclusive Anti-Racist Teaching</a>,” where she discussed topics such as “The Story of Race and the Creation of the White World,” “White Privilege” and “White Teachers.”  In the introduction, she writes:
“This book rests on the premise that as a nation, the United States is far from post-racial. Critical race theorists put this best in arguing that racism is endemic in the United States and shapes all of our institutions…
“The disproportionate emphasis on communities of color, the rhetoric of deficit that frames these communities as lacking and parents as not caring, the often-dysfunctional relationship between white educations and students of color, all help to illustrate the ways in which race continues to disrupt meaningful education for all students.”

“The town preserves its white culture not out of necessity for life but out of fear of a white cultural death, an unfounded fear that has existed within white communities for centuries.”

In a 2023 <a href="https://reason.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/DoevMiddleburyComplaint.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a>, Kriner, among other defendants ( several of whom worked with Middlebury College), was accused of labor trafficking and not compensating an independent contractor in the same field of research (terrorism studies) as Kriner. The plaintiff, called Jane Doe in the lawsuit, sued the defendants on 11 counts.  

The plaintiff was initially asked to help Kriner with research in accelerationism:

“Defendant Matthew Kriner introduced himself to Doe on social media. He described himself as a private sector analyst who worked on similar topics. He was interested to learn more about accelerationism because  of her singular expertise on the subject matter…Kriner also  increasingly needed non-public information into her proprietary research to pitch the threat to high-level government officials. Kriner told Doe it ‘would be good to get more granularity from you on it all if you can.’”

In several research articles written by Kriner and defendants, Doe was not given credit or pay for her contributions and involvement in their scholarly work. Yet, she was continually asked for research assistance on following projects, which led to the same outcome for her. Over time, this treatment from the defendants allegedly led to the dilapidation of the plaintiff’s mental health. 

Toward the end of the complaint, the following claim is made: 

“Doe will never be able to return to the workplace or attain a doctorate as she intended due to the severe psychological injuries and enduring trauma caused by the Defendants.”

The case was <a href="http://portal-dc.tylertech.cloud/app/RegisterOfActions/#/A9FD50059C1B644BC03C64C2FF6F0570B090735330CC39DCD734F240CC06C74B23EE8F70682458011D8D106B0687D14A17F9A84303016DAFE983B2CC10EFA67BE210A368F7474E9F156C97AB7474C6EB/anon/portalembed">closed</a> several times despite the plaintiff’s repeated attempts to reopen it. The latest attempt was made in May of 2024, which was denied by Judge Todd E. Edelman.

<a href="https://www.fit.edu/our-next-president/presidents-bio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Nicklow</a> is President of the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT). According to his university profile, Nicklow “has 25 years of higher education experience as a faculty member in engineering and an academic administrator, with a proven track record in research, enrollment management, student success initiatives, fundraising, external partnerships and academic program innovation.” 
In an undercover video recorded by a source connected with the O’Keefe Media Group, Nicklow was caught telling FIT faculty that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) educational initiatives would have to be sneakily repackaged in order to avoid federal and state legal backlash (both of which have banned DEI from public university curriculum if a college seeks federal and state funding). 
The video shows Nicklow relating a story in which he met with the Governor’s office and realized certain words could be switched around or replaced in order to bypass any DEI violation according to the Florida government. Nicklow said he felt a desire to fight back against these anti-DEI initiatives after that meeting. 
“And if we have to change some words, so they&#8217;re not being scraped, and so we&#8217;re not targeted [that] allows us to do some work,” he added.  
According to Nicklow, if a college goes to the federal government and talks, for instance, of climate change research, that research will not get funded. However, he said if that is worded as “surveillance or defense, you’ll probably get money.”

Nicklow was also recorded in another meeting giving advice to faculty regarding DEI courses. He recommended, if they wish to continue those courses, modifying their grant for a new agency, or seek a new funding source. He also said the government is not smart and is merely searching for buzzwords and not deeply examining curricular content, nor capable of understanding it. 
“You have the academic freedom to teach those topics,” the university president declared.
Nicklow’s response to the video’s release has been largely a recourse to legal counsel and less of a personal explanation of what he said and intends to do with DEI at FIT. When O’Keefe Media Group Founder James O’Keefe confronted him, he was baffled a video had been recorded, and claimed it was illegal. He avoided any further comment and said the matter would be addressed by his lawyer. O’Keefe was later hit with a cease and desist order concerning any publication of the video.

<a href="https://gsrosenthal.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gregory Samantha Rosenthal</a> is an Associate Professor of History, Coordinator of the Public History Concentration, and Co-Coordinator of the Gender and Women’s Studies Concentration at <a href="https://www.roanoke.edu/profiles/rosenthal_samantha" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roanoke College</a>. According to his website, from 2024–2026 he will also be a Visiting Associate Professor of American History at Washington &amp; Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. 
Rosenthal, a “biological male,” uses feminine pronouns. In his book “<a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/766656" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to Become a Woman</a>,” he even refers to himself as a “transgender dyke.” 
Rosenthal is an advocate for transgender rights. One of his major focuses of activism — and an academic focus as well — is the LGBTQ community and its history in Roanoke, Virginia. In his book “<a href="https://gsrosenthal.com/living-queer-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Living Queer History</a>,” Rosenthal writes:
“Roanoke is a prime example of a small city that has attracted queer and trans folks from the countryside, yet the city’s distinctive racial geographies mean that any space here for queer people has only been welcoming to some but not others. Roanoke’s queer map reveals disparate spaces of belonging among white folks versus Black folks, men versus women, cisgender versus trans folks. Queer fiefdoms, indeed.”
The book description reads:
“Queer history is a living practice. Talk to any group of LGBTQ people today, and they will not agree on what story should be told. Many people desire to celebrate the past by erecting plaques and painting rainbow crosswalks, but queer and trans people in the twenty-first century need more than just symbols—they need access to power, justice for marginalized people, spaces of belonging. Approaching the past through a lens of queer and trans survival and world-building transforms history itself into a tool for imagining and realizing a better future.”
In the introductory chapter of the book, Rosenthal addresses what led him and like-minded community members to become Roanoke-centered advocates for the LGBTQ community:
 “When Donald Trump was running for president in 2016, a community member came up with the slogan for our project: Make Roanoke Queer Again. This is the story of how we have attempted to do just that: the work of queering a city in a region known more for its Confederate monuments and socially conservative Bible thumping than for its LGBTQ heritage.”
In an <a href="https://gsrosenthal.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/make-ronoke-queer-again-tph.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled, “Make Roanoke Queer Again Community History and Urban Change in a Southern City,” Rosenthal writes on the history of Roanoke and its relation to the LGBTQ community. The abstract for the article states the following of Roanoke’s history: 

“This essay explores intersections among urban history, queer history, and public history in a gentrifying southern city. I show how queer cultures flourished in Roanoke, Virginia, in the 1960s and 1970s only to be displaced by a combination of police repression, urban planning, and gentrification starting in the late 1970s and 1980s … This essay argues that queer community history projects can be a form of resistance to gentrification and a means to preserve our history from ’queer erasure.’”
Rosenthal claims the “#MakeRoanokeQueerAgain” bar crawls that he and his associates go on will help change the overall sexual preference of cities, especially that of Roanoke:
“Our #MakeRoanokeQueerAgain bar crawl is just one example of how community history projects can make cities queer again by renaming and reclaiming urban space, thereby resisting a gentrification that threatens to erase the queer past …  I want Roanoke to become just a little bit more queer.”

Further tweets reviewed by the Professor Watchlist team showcase his support for the Black Lives Matter movement and Colin Kaepernick. One tweet postulates that modern-day conservatives would crucify Jesus Christ due to his status as a “leader of Black Lives Matter.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Is it just me, or is it not obvious that the Republicans of today are the Romans of yesteryear and Jesus would be the leader of Black Lives Matter? <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlackLivesMatter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlackLivesMatter</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlackTwitter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlackTwitter</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ADOS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ADOS</a>

Dr. Casey even attacks his own institution as a “monument to white supremacy.”

&nbsp;

The comment is directed at Confederate General Robert E. Lee, who served as Washington and Lee’s President after the cessation of the Civil War. For years, protestors have <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/washington-and-lee-university-may-scrap-its-name-next-month-after-years-of-protest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demanded the removal of Lee from the university’s name and denounced the General for his connections to slavery.</a>

Dr. Casey was among 100 other professors at the university <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200708003710/https://richmond.com/news/washington-and-lee-faculty-vote-to-change-the-universitys-name/article_c5141929-035b-598b-b2a5-2e29da73aa48.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who called for the removal of Lee from the university name in the summer of 2020</a>. The faculty voted by a margin of 79-21% for the removal of Lee's name. In a subsequent interview, he admits that many faculty voted out of concern that they would “end up on the wrong side” of history.

“We feel like we’re going to end up on the wrong side of this as an institution and that it will harm us...Everyone who was in that conversation feels that the best thing for our institution is to drop our affiliation with Lee.”

The board of Trustees would later vote 22-6 to keep the name while committing $225 million as part of a “strategic plan” to achieve racial equity.

Northeastern University

Dr. <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/graduate/bio/denis-sullivan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denis Sullivan</a> is a Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern University</a> in Boston, Massachusetts. He additionally serves as the co-Director of the <a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/internationalcenter/middle-east/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Middle East Center</a>, a branch of <a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/internationalcenter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern’s International Center</a>. Dr. Sullivan is known for including anti-Israel elements into his curriculum, and for his defense of the terrorist organization Hamas.

Founded as the offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Gaza Strip, Hamas is an Islamist terrorist organization. The organization’s <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charter explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1890" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-30T123137.664-e1638300714181-1024x366.png" alt="" width="500" height="179" />

The group has ruled the Gaza strip since 2005 and explicitly targets Israeli civilians while using its own <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/183750" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citizens as human shields during military operations</a>. <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/prelude-to-war-palestinian-terrorists-fire-hundreds-of-rockets-at-israel-from-and-to-civilian-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas regularly fires rockets</a> and <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">directs suicide bombers into crowded areas</a>. The organization is <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responsible for the death of thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>.

In a lecture dated to 2009, Denis Sullivan can be heard <a href="https://vimeo.com/127604352" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trivializing Hamas atrocities during a lecture about foreign relations with Israel</a>. In the clip, captured by the organization <a href="https://canarymission.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canary Mission</a>, Dr. Sullivan begrudgingly admits that Hamas is a terrorist organization, but proceeds to praise them for having “great healthcare and kindergartens."

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Sullivan-Hamas-does-great-healthcare.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Further in the same lecture, while discussing peace negotiations, Dr. Sullivan claims that it’s irrelevant that Hamas will not recognize the right of Israel to exist.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Sulivan-Hamas-wont-recognize-Israel-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

According to reports from the group <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT)</a>, Dr. Sullivan <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/2014/02/26/northeastern-universitys-islamists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regularly assigns extreme anti-Israel materials in his class</a>. One text is, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/233020/the-holocaust-industry-by-norman-g-finkelstein/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Holocaust Industry</a>,” by author and former professor, Norman Finkelstein. The book alleges that Israel uses the Holocaust to shield itself from criticism when committing war crimes on par with that of the Nazis.

“The Holocaust has proven to be an indispensable ideological weapon. Through its deployment, one of the world’s most formidable military powers, with a horrendous human rights record, has cast itself as a “victim” state, and the most successful ethnic group in the US has likewise acquired victim status.” - Norman Finkelstein, The Holocaust Industry

Another assigned text is titled, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ethnic-Cleansing-Palestine-Ilan-Pappe/dp/1851685553" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine</a>'' by IIan Pappe. The book falsely charges Israel with committing mass genocide and ethnic cleansing of the region’s Arabs during the nation’s founding.

Dr. Sullivan has directed numerous university-sponsored trips to introduce students to meet Syrian and Egyptian officials. As APT has documented, his students met with at least one Egyptian minister <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9mmOilcDA4&amp;ab_channel=apeacet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who believes in the antisemitic conspiracy that Jews manipulate and control the world economy</a>.

In addition to his duties in the Middle East Center, his biography lists him as a member of the organization, “Human Rights Watch.” The group has been <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/04/experts-slam-human-rights-watch-for-biased-and-inaccurate-report-accusing-israel-of-apartheid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused by a number of watchdog organizations of publishing slanted and falsified information about Israel</a>. The organization has become so maligned, that its founder, Robert Bernstein, once lambasted his organization for <a href="https://archive.ph/b1E3q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">focusing its efforts solely on Israel while ignoring actual authoritarian regimes</a>.

Updated - November 30, 2021

<a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/faculty/shahid-alam/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Shahid Alam</a> is a professor of economics at <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern University</a> in Boston, Massachusetts. After immigrating to the United States from Pakistan, Dr. Alam began working for Northeastern in 1988 where he serves as the academic advisor for the group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

Infamous for sympathy towards Islamic terrorism in his work, Dr. Alam has authored pieces justifying suicide bombers, compared the 9/11 highjackers to America’s founding fathers, and repeated antisemitic libels while supporting the BDS movement.

BDS—which stands for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions—is an international movement with a singular focus on boycotting, divesting, and levying sanctions against the world’s sole Jewish state. The movement’s co-founder—Omar Barghouti has admitted that once <a href="https://www.israellycool.com/2020/06/02/watch-bds-co-founder-omar-barghouti-admits-their-goal-is-destruction-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">these planks are implemented, they will destroy Israel</a>.

In a piece for the site, CounterPunch, Dr. Alam pens a <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/07/29/the-academic-boycott-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">full-throated defense of BDS</a> as a necessary tactic to confront Israel. While characterizing the Jewish state as not a “normal country,” he falsely accuses Israel of constructing an “apartheid state” to commit genocide against Arabs.

Dr. Alam uses his accusation as justification for <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/07/29/the-academic-boycott-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">then-ongoing waves of suicide bombers in Israel</a>, writing, “dispossession is implemented by force-unless this project is aided by pathogens; and, it follows, that resistance to the colonizer must be violent.”

An “intifada”—Arabic for “uprising”—refers to a series of Palestinian insurrections within Israel. From 2000-2005, the Second Intifada—known as the <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/background-and-overview-of-al-aqsa-intifada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Al-Aqsa Intifada</a>,”—claimed over 1,100 lives. During this period, terrorist groups like Hamas deployed <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/comprehensive-listing-of-terrorism-victims-in-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suicide bombers and gunmen to target civilians in crowded areas to maximize casualties</a>.

In a separate piece, Dr. Alam again praises suicide bombers, <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/04/03/thomas-friedman-s-lies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing that they seek to become martyrs in order to bring “honor” to their nation:</a>

“The Oxford English dictionary defines a suicide as “one who dies by his own hand.” This definition is clearly inadequate. In the absence of a motive, we cannot distinguish between (i) a person who takes his life because he wants to die and (ii) a person who takes his life because this will save her soul-or her honor, her family, her friends, her community, or her country. The first suggests suicide; the latter is ordinarily regarded as a martyr. Judge for yourself then whether the Palestinians are suicides or martyrs.” 

This is not a solitary instance of which Dr. Alam has sought to justify Islamic terrorism. In an article from 2004, he <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2004/12/29/seeking-parallels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared the 9/11 hijackers to America’s Founding Fathers</a>. 

“The colonists had a dream worth pursuing. They were prepared to die for this dream ­and to kill. They did: and they won…On September 11, 2001, nineteen Arab hijackers too demonstrated their willingness to die — and to kill — for what they believed was their dream. They died — so they thought — because they wanted their people to live, free and in dignity.” 

The prior year, Dr. Alam wrote that <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/01/02/why-9-11-and-why-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the attacks themselves were not in any way unique, and in fact, paled in comparison to the atrocities committed by the United States</a>.

“[The 9/11]  attacks pales into insignificance when compared to the worst terrorist acts perpetrated by states, not excluding United States, over the past five-hundred years.”

In further articles, Dr. Alam depicts Jews in explicit, antisemitic terms. He accuses Jews of using their religion to justify genocide, manipulating the media, possessing dual loyalty, citing the Holocaust for sympathy, and directing America to launch foreign wars on Israel’s behalf:

- One article for CounterPunch decries <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/04/05/israelization-of-the-united-states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Jewish money” swaying elections on behalf of Israel.</a>

- Another piece <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2009/08/21/zionism-an-quot-abnormal-quot-nationalism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses Jews of seeking to “compensate” for the absence of a messiah</a> by launching a colonial, genocidal project in Palestine with the assistance of American Christians.

- One accuses <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2010/12/07/unvarnished-truths-about-the-us-and-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish organizations of policing and directing the media to proliferate “Israeli lies.”</a>

- Dr. Alam’s book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0230614841/thewisdomfund?pldnSite=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli Exceptionalism</a>, accuses <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/zionisms-destabilizing-force-israeli-exceptionalism-reviewed/3569" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jews and Zionists of partnering with the Nazis</a> prior to World War 2.

- The same book describes <a href="http://www.twf.org/News/Y2010/0623-Review.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">neoconservatives as a “mostly Jewish elite” who shape America’s institutions for Israel’s benefit</a>.

- Yet another article accuses <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/02/19/israel-s-proxy-war/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Jews and Israel of directing the United States to invade Iraq</a> to distract the world from their alleged genocide of the Palestinians.

- Dr. Alam goes so far as to accuse <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/04/18/a-colonizing-project-built-on-lies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jews of weaponizing the Holocaust</a> to elicit sympathy and distract the world from their own human rights abuses.

- In an op-ed for the Egyptian state-owned newspaper Al-Ahram, Dr. Alam <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070601183749/http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2007/846/op5.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses Jews of using their Judaism—or what he mocks as their “chosenness” by God—to excuse racism and ethnically cleanse Palestine</a>.

Rather than hide or justify his views, Dr. Alam seems delighted by accusations of antisemitism. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Alam can be heard advising students to wear allegations of antisemitism “as a badge of honor.”

Updated - February 22nd

<a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/faculty/james-fox/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Alan Fox</a> is the Lipman Family Professor of Criminology, Law, and Public Policy at Northeastern University. 

According to his university profile, Fox “has published 18 books, dozens of journal and magazine articles, and hundreds of freelance columns in newspapers around the country, primarily in the areas of mass murder, serial murder youth crime, school and campus violence, workplace violence, and capital punishment.”

Fox was featured in a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240714040128/https:/news.northeastern.edu/2024/07/13/donald-trump-shooting-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern News Service</a> article about the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump. Much of Fox’s commentary emphasized gun control measures. The professor implied how the lack of such measures may be the cause of the attempt. According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/northeastern-university-prof-said-trump-assassination-attempt-help-republicans-reconsider-gun-control/25893" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, the following quote from Fox was removed from the article:

“The Republican party has been rather reluctant to back sensible gun control measures. Their party leader has been shot. Fortunately, he didn’t get mortally wounded, but it certainly should help them reconsider some of their stances on sensible gun safety measures.” 
Fox even made the following statement to Campus Reform, echoing the statements he previously made on gun control measures. He alluded to the relevance of <a href="https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/brady-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brady Law</a>, a gun control measure enacted after the assassination attempt on a newly elected President Ronald Reagan in 1981: 
“As to whether it is an appropriate issue to raise, the assassination attempt on Reagan and the severe injury to his aide James Brady eventually inspired a significant gun control measure (Brady Law). Besides, the assassination attempt on Trump was a shooting, and so raising the issue of gun control is clearly relevant. Republicans are entrenched in their pro-gun stance. I would welcome but not expect some movement.”

Anti-2nd Amendment

<a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/law/faculty/directory/williams-p.html">Patricia Williams </a>is a Professor of Law and Humanities at Northeastern University. Williams, in an editorial for The Nation, wrote " the history of the right to bear arms is shaped by exclusionary privilege based on race and gender. It is almost exclusively white men who may “reasonably” carry firearms to protests outside Target or political conventions", although still 20% of Hispanic and African-American homes own guns according to Pew research.

The Professor Watchlist received an exclusive message in which Roxana Chicas—Assistant Professor from Emory University—asks students not to capitalize the word “white” when describing white Americans, but to capitalize the word “Black” when referring to black Americans. 
The announcement was posted on a message board for her Public Health and Nursing course as advice for acceptable writing. Chicas states that capitalizing the “B” conveys a shared racial and ethnic identity among the “African diaspora”: 
“I encourage you to capitalize the “B” when referring to the Black population. Black in a racial, ethnic, or cultural sense, conveys an essential and shared sense of history, identity, and community among people who identify as Black, including those in the African diaspora and within Africa.” 
Chicas then writes that whites do not share the same history or culture as black Americans.  She then alleges that capitalizing the “w” when referring to white people would legitimize white supremacy:
“I encourage you to not capitalizing [sic] the “w” when referring to the white population because white people generally do not share the same history and culture, or the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color. Furthermore, capitalizing the term white, as is done by white supremacists, risks subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs.”
Chicas further advocates against using the term “nonwhite” as it “centers whiteness”:
“I encourage you to not describe people of color with the term “Non-white races.” A designation like “nonwhite” is often criticized because it makes white people a kind of neutral default from which other people might deviate. In other words, it centers whiteness.”

Emory University

<a href="https://philosophy.emory.edu/people/bios/yancy-george.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. George Yancy</a> is a Professor of Philosophy at Emory University.  A Red Alert Politics article states "Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a letter to white Americans calling them  racist. Make no mistake, if you are white, you are racist. As The Blaze pointed out, professor George Yancy called on white America to examine the 'racist poison that is inside of you.' And Yancy means all white America."

Dr. <a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carol Anderson</a> is the <a href="http://aas.emory.edu/home/people/bios/anderson-carol.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Howard Candler Professor and Chair of African American Studies</a> at <a href="https://www.emory.edu/home/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emory University</a> in Atlanta, Georgia. She has ascribed the passage of the Second Amendment to white supremacy, and accused conservatives of trying to make America a “whites only” nation.

Dr. Anderson is the author of, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/the-second" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America</a>.” The book alleges the true purpose of the Second Amendment is the denial of rights to African Americans.

In a subsequent interview with CNN, Dr. Anderson claims the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/30/us/second-amendment-guns-anti-black-anderson-blake/index.html?utm_term=link&amp;utm_source=twCNN&amp;utm_content=2021-06-01T03%3A42%3A56&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intention of the right to keep and bear arms was ultimately to empower militias to keep black Americans, “under the boot” of white supremacy</a>. At one point, she claims the second amendment is about “anti-blackness”, or antithetical to the well-being and rights of African-Americans:

<img class="size-large wp-image-1574 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-09-14T175033.334-e1631667053699-1024x356.png" alt="" width="580" height="202" />

She further states that America’s gun culture is fueled by a “fear” of black people and that “anti-blackness” courses through our nation's history.

Dr. Anderson first rose to national prominence in 2014 for her Washington Post article attributing the Ferguson Riots to “white rage.”

The unrest stemmed from an altercation involving Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson. Brown had been pulled over by Wilson over suspicion of his involvement in a strong-arm robbery in a nearby convenience store. During the stop, witnesses testified that <a href="https://nypost.com/2014/08/19/witnesses-say-ferguson-teen-attacked-cop-before-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brown attempted to grab Officer Wilson’s gun</a> before turning and running away. When ordered to halt, Brown turned and charged Officer Wilson, who then fatally shot Brown in self-defense.

Although Wilson was later exonerated for his actions,<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Black Lives Matter activists promoted the false narrative that Brown was shot with his hands up while attempting to surrender.</a> After a grand jury declined to indict Officer Wilson, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2850383/A-town-ravaged-anger-pictures-extent-damage-buildings-Ferguson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rioters and looters burned stores and restaurants across the city of Ferguson</a>, Missouri.

In the piece, Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ferguson-wasnt-black-rage-against-copsit-was-white-rage-against-progress/2014/08/29/3055e3f4-2d75-11e4-bb9b-997ae96fad33_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insinuates that riots are effective as the only method that residents of Ferguson can utilize to make their voices be heard.</a> Stating the “real rage” is represented in the attempts by conservative movements and police to disenfranchise African-Americans. She dismisses the destruction as not a product of “black rage”, but rather the “latest outbreak of “white rage.”

The article was later expanded into the book, “<a href="https://www.professorcarolanderson.org/white-rage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Rage, The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide</a>.” When Emory University featured the book on their website, Dr. Anderson further defined white rage as, “<a href="https://news.emory.edu/stories/2016/05/upress_white_rage_anderson/campus.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">policymakers and a series of courts systematically undercut the advancement of African Americans</a>.” Dr. Anderson would go on to author an article for Time Magazine accusing “patriots” who are afflicted with "white rage" 0f <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170421064019/https://time.com/4573307/donald-trump-white-rage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trying to make America a “whites only” county</a> and attempting to revive a “Jim Crow nation.”

Dr. Anderson regularly lectures at colleges and universities across the country. In 2021, it was discovered that Dr. Anderson’s work had been <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/gop-army-vet-congressman-seeks-answers-critical-race-theory-west-point" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in a lecture by the Army Cyber Institute at West Point University</a>.

<a href="https://www.sabrinastrings.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sabrina Strings</a> is a Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine.
In an interview, Sabrina Strings argues that <a href="https://news.uci.edu/2019/08/12/fat-phobia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fat phobia is rooted in racism</a> and religion. She claims that the stigma surrounding fatness predominately impacts black women and that “it’s actually rooted in the trans-Atlantic slave trade and Protestantism.” Dr. Strings explains the stigma against fatness: “in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, colonists and race scientists suggested that black people were sensuous and thus prone to sexual and oral excesses.”
She also argues that in the modern era, “poor black women are particularly stigmatized as diseased and a burden on the public health care system.” She states, “this is only the most recent incarnation of the fear of fat black women.” Dr. Strings claims that fat phobia concerning black women did not originate with medical findings, but with the belief that fatness was evidence of savagery.
Dr. String&#8217;s book Fearing the Black Body states, “the contemporary ideal of slenderness is, at its very core, racialized and racist.” This includes the medical establishment&#8217;s “crusade against obesity.” She states that fat phobia is used to “validate race, class, and gender prejudice.”

Richard Symanski is a Senior Lecturer at the University of California, Irvine. In one of Symanski's introductory-level Biological Science courses, Symanski was caught on film telling the class that they should all get on the bandwagon to get guns outlawed in the wake of the San Bernardino shooting.

<a href="https://www.law.uci.edu/faculty/full-time/baradaran/">Mehrsa Baradaran</a> is a professor of law at the University of California, Irvine. According to her <a href="https://www.law.uci.edu/faculty/full-time/baradaran/">university bio</a>, Baradaran previously served as Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives, focusing on diversity and inclusion efforts. Baradaran is the author of “<a href="https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674286061">How the Other Half Banks</a>,” and, “<a href="https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674237476">The Color of Money</a>.”
Identity Politics 
Baradaran equates capitalism with white supremacy. In addition to advocating for defunding police departments, Baradaran believes that reparations to the black community are the only way to address racism in America.
In an <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/us-needs-reparations-black-americans_n_5ede5dfbc5b6fb8854dd8d00">interview with HuffPost</a>, Baradaran details her stance on reparations for the black community.  As noted in the article, Baradaran was asked by a Twitter user what her solution would be to solve racial unrest, in which she responded, “Reparations.” Baradaran had previously used her <a href="https://twitter.com/MehrsaBaradaran">Twitter account</a> to advocate for reparations and urge presidential candidates, including Vice-President Kamala Harris, to adopt them as a policy.

In the same interview with HuffPost, Baradaran states that America “broke a contract with black America,” and thus reparations are the only way to provide relief to minorities. When asked what this would look like, Baradaran references her previous proposal, the <a href="https://greatdemocracyinitiative.org/document/21st-century-homestead-act/">21st Century Homestead Act</a>. The act would implement, among other things, a “progressive” tax system, school reform, regulating corporations, the “wholesale transfer” of land to black men and women, and monetary reparations.

The interview continues with Baradaran describing the act of policing as deeply racist and based on “policing black freedom” in the South during the Jim Crow era. Before comparing police and police departments to cancer, Baradaran advocates for the complete defunding of police.

In addition to her position, the Biden administration <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=16192">appointed</a> Baradaran to the Department of the Treasury agency review board.

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Mehrsa Baradaran regarding our assessment that she states that reparations will heal America’s “original sin of racism,” that she urged major presidential candidates to adopt reparations, that she’s stated capitalism in based on white supremacy, and that she stated that the “cancer” in police departments must be treated to stop police killings.

Baradaran's response:"The first two statements are a bit of a misreading of my statements, but the last two statements are not statements I’ve ever made. That last statement—I don’t even think that so I am sure I never said it." -Baradaran

<a href="https://www.faculty.uci.edu/profile.cfm?faculty_id=6635" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Adriana Villavicencio</a> is Assistant Professor in the School of Education at the University of California, Irvine. According to her university profile, “[h]er research is focused on K-12 educational policy and school practice that deepen or disrupt inequities for minoritized communities of students and families.” It also “includes mixed-method studies on turnaround middle schools, small high schools in NYC, schools serving newly arrived immigrant English Learners, and a racial justice program embedded in culturally diverse elementary schools.”

In 2021, Villavicencio published <a href="https://www.dradrianav.com/am-i-my-brothers-keeper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Am I my Brother’s Keeper?”</a>, which is a book about “educational opportunities for black and brown boys.” 

According to the publisher’s description, “Am I my Brother’s Keeper?” “highlights the ways that school districts can embed educational equity into the principles and policies that guide their work with students, in contrast to implementing stand-alone initiatives that may come and go.” 

The publisher also states that “Am I my Brother’s Keeper?” includes the “voices of students, teachers, and administrators, [and] informs the implementation of other large-scale district-community partnerships designed to improve opportunities and outcomes for young people who have systematically been denied both… the book provides policy, practice, and research recommendations to inform the next generation of work with this student population.”

In October, Villavicencio, Dana Conlin, and Olga Pagan co-wrote an article titled <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/08959048221130353" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Research-Practice Partnerships in Pursuit of Racial Justice in Schools: Navigating a Hostile Sociopolitical Climate”</a>. The authors state: 
“The myth of apolitical education research becomes even clearer when conducting research on racism and the systemic oppression of marginalized communities. This is especially true in a political climate wherein the very definition of systemic racism and its impact on Black, Latinx, Asian, and Indigenous people are constantly contested.”
In an article titled, <a href="https://theconversation.com/why-schools-going-back-to-normal-wont-work-for-students-of-color-192228" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why schools’ going back to ‘normal’ won’t work for students of color”</a>, Villvicencio wrote the following arguments: 
— “Research shows <a href="https://cepa.stanford.edu/content/causal-effects-cultural-relevance-evidence-ethnic-studies-curriculum">students do better overall</a> when their teachers and <a href="http://hdl.handle.net/10919/84024">the books students read</a> reflect their race, ethnicity and cultures.

<a href="https://www.law.uci.edu/faculty/full-time/goodwin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michele Goodwin</a> is a Chancellor’s Professor at the University of California, Irvine.

In a May 2022 article titled “<a href="https://msmagazine.com/2022/05/24/abortion-slavery-reproductive-freedom-13th-amendment-constitution-black-women-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Urgency for Reproductive Freedom: From Slavery to the New Jane Crow</a>” Goodwin shares her thoughts on “reproductive justice”. She writes:
“If the Supreme Court dismantles Roe v. Wade and its legacy of jurisprudence, it will bring significant harm to all women and all people capable of pregnancy in anti-abortion states, while imposing a death sentence for Black and Brown women.” 
Goodwin also states that the “Fugitive Slave Acts” are the predecessors of Texas Senate Bill 8, which bans abortions after six weeks. She claims that the bill “incentivizes private individuals to spy upon, surveil and interfere with others who are asserting fundamental human and constitutional rights such as bodily autonomy, privacy and freedom.” Goodwin continues by writing, “state lawmakers force their [reproductive people] bodies into the service of state interests.”

Goodwin adds, “Texas, Mississippi and other states with “trigger” bans make clear that the essences of chattel bondage and the draft have returned—but only for women, girls and pregnant-capable people.”

Finally, Goodwin argues, “Black women are the canaries in the coal mine, and this period marks the New Jane Crow.” The New Jane Crow is a play on words designed to associate with <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/freedom-riders-jim-crow-laws/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Crow laws</a> which enforced racial segregation.

In an interview, Sabrina Strings argues that <a href="https://news.uci.edu/2019/08/12/fat-phobia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fat phobia is rooted in racism</a> and religion. She claims that the stigma surrounding fatness predominately impacts black women and that “it’s actually rooted in the trans-Atlantic slave trade and Protestantism.” Dr. Strings explains the stigma against fatness: “in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, colonists and race scientists suggested that black people were sensuous and thus prone to sexual and oral excesses.”

She also argues that in the modern era, “poor black women are particularly stigmatized as diseased and a burden on the public health care system.” She states, “this is only the most recent incarnation of the fear of fat black women.” Dr. Strings claims that fat phobia concerning black women did not originate with medical findings, but with the belief that fatness was evidence of savagery.

Dr. String's book Fearing the Black Body states, “the contemporary ideal of slenderness is, at its very core, racialized and racist.” This includes the medical establishment's “crusade against obesity.” She states that fat phobia is used to “validate race, class, and gender prejudice.”

When questioned about the alleged medical concerns that obesity can cause, Dr. Strings dismissed them. In the same interview, she pointed toward research that downplays the role of obesity in adverse health. She states, “the bottom line is this: BMI is a poor measure of health outcomes.” <a href="https://www.calculator.net/bmi-calculator.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BMI</a> is a broad classification that attempts to represent healthy weight ranges.

<a href="https://www.marquette.edu/psychology/directory/debra-oswald.php">Dr. Debra Oswald </a>and her research partner at Marquette University found a way to make most normal parenting actions seem sexist. Sexist behaviors included helping your daughter learn how to put on makeup, holding open the door open for her, and making your daughter feel “special”. These are signs of a sexist father according to Oswald.

<a href="https://www.marquette.edu/education/directory/blake_oneal_turner.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blake O’Neal Turner</a> is an Assistant Professor in the College of Education at Marquette University. According to her university profile:
“Blake’s research attends to the ways that mathematics education is an instantiation of an anti-black and white institutional space and how critical research methodologies, and theoretical frameworks can be used as a tool towards liberation for minoritized and marginalized communities, but particularly Black doers, learners, and teachers of mathematics.” 
In an article for <a href="https://today.marquette.edu/2023/09/bringing-creativity-to-the-math-classroom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marquette Today</a>, Turner discusses <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/rochellegutierrez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Rochelle Gutierrez’s</a> statement that “Mathematics is considered whiteness.” Turner agrees, saying it guides “who gets credit for doing mathematics, whose mathematics do we take as valid and relevant.” She adds:
“Those things tend to marginalize Black and non-Black students of color. They’re used even when we think of testing. There’s these ‘achievement gaps,’ but our research is showing that its opportunity gaps, particularly for Black and non-Black students of color. That context matters and we have to take that into consideration.” 
In regards to how her research has impacted her teaching in the classroom, Turner stated:
“I am definitely a different teacher—having done this research—than I was before. We have a lot of conversations about how we can be critically reflective and check our own positionality and recognize the way that we did education models the way that we were trained as students and as learners. It’s ok to let that go and learn something new.” 
In the book “Teaching for Equity,” Turner and University of Southern California Postdoctoral Scholar Kristyn Lue authored a chapter entitled “<a href="https://jfepublications.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/TeachingforEquity2020-Final-small.pdf#page=141" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Stories We Tell: Disrupting the Myth of Neutrality in Math through Counternarratives</a>.” The authors write:
“Framed by Critical Race Theory (CRT), our autoethnographic explorations confront the ways race and its intersections create unjust - yet normalized - power dynamics enmeshed in our society through years of historical oppression and legacies of white supremacy.” 
The authors claim there is a “permanence of racism in mathematics spaces and structures” and they view mathematics as “white property.” The authors argue testing is an example of the alleged racism within mathematics:
“Testing, although purporting to be objective and neutral, is used to reproduce racialized hierarchies in mathematics. Testing is just one structure that functions to maintain whiteness in mathematics education and restrict minoritized students from accessing resources and opportunities.”

<a href="https://www.marquette.edu/philosophy/directory/desiree-valentine.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Desiree Valentine</a> is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Marquette University. On her faculty profile, Valentine states:

“My work lies at the intersection of Critical Philosophy of Race, Feminist Philosophy, Queer Theory, and Disability Bioethics. My past projects have included a philosophical exploration of the concept of ‘mixed race’ and its role in U.S. cultural imaginaries concerning racial justice and liberation.”

In May 2021, Valentine was featured in a Marquette News Center <a href="https://www.marquette.edu/news-center/2021/marquette-philosophy-professor-receives-prestigious-career-enhancement-fellowship.php">article</a> after she received a Career Enhancement Fellowship from the Institute for Citizens and Scholars, formerly the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.

<a href="https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/wilson-topics/wilson-and-race/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Note</a> that Woodrow Wilson—the 28th President of the United States—held office during the Jim Crow era, advancing segregation and overt racism toward black Americans during his tenure. Wilson is also infamously known for hosting a screening of the Klu Klux Klan film <a href="https://youtu.be/ebtiJH3EOHo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Birth of a Nation</a> at the White House.

The News Center <a href="https://www.marquette.edu/news-center/2021/marquette-philosophy-professor-receives-prestigious-career-enhancement-fellowship.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> praised Valentine, saying, “Valentine will be afforded the opportunity by this fellowship to devote time and resources to ongoing projects of racial, disability, and reproductive rights.”

On October 10, 2024, Valentine co-authored a peer-reviewed <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15265161.2024.2388994?scroll=top&amp;needAccess=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Thinking Through How Race, Disability, and Gender Work Together,” in which she discussed recognizing racial diversity in bioethics programs. 

The abstract of Valentine’s <a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/VALRFR" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paper</a> “Reparations for Reproductive Slavery and Its Afterlives” says:

“Contemporary US discourse on reparations tends to focus on the suppression of [b]lack economic interests, but the harms of slavery are not exhausted by the labor expropriation of slaves and its concomitant wealth accumulation for white people and the United States at large. Reproductive oppression was constitutive of the institution of slavery, and its harms continue to reverberate today.”

In the abstract, Valentine failed to address the fact that abortion—a <a href="https://ohiosenate.gov/news/on-the-record/abortion-is-killing-the-black-community" target="_blank" rel="noopener">procedure</a> with a history of targeting black children—disproportionately <a href="https://www.congress.gov/115/meeting/house/106562/witnesses/HHRG-115-JU10-Wstate-ParkerS-20171101-SD001.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">affects the black community</a> with over 40% of all abortions in the U.S. <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2022/06/30/texas-abortion-black-women/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">performed</a> on black women.

In a March 2024 interview <a href="https://www.ijfab.org/blog/2024/03/feminist-bioethics-scholar-spotlight-desiree-valentine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> on the IJFAB Blog, Valentine responded to questions about “feminist bioethics.” When asked, “What next directions in your research are you most excited about?” Valentine said:

“My work on race and reproduction has brought me to engage with the framework of reproductive justice (RJ). RJ offers a radical shift in understanding the breadth and depth of reproductive oppression. RJ was inspired by the movement of women of color feminists concerned with reproductive rights and protections beyond abortion.”

She further asserted that the idea of black people receiving reparations, with a focus on funding abortions, could help with “racial repair” in the United States.

Students attending DePaul are not allowed to chalk political messages around campus. In a campus-wide email Zdziarski said, “The university has been addressing campus climate issues in an effort to provide an inclusive and supportive educational environment. In this context, many students, faculty and staff found the chalk messages offensive, hurtful and divisive.” These messages included pro-Trump and pro-police slogans.

<a href="http://las.depaul.edu/academics/political-science/faculty/Pages/valerie-johnson.aspx">Dr. Valerie Johnson</a> is an Associate Professor of Urban Politics at DePaul University. Dr. Johnson encouraged and assisted students in disrupting a campus event featuring Milo Yiannopoulos. Student Edward Ward, a protege of Johnson, allegedly threatened Mr. Yiannopoulos physically on stage during the disruption.

Dr. Sumi Cho is a <a href="https://law.depaul.edu/faculty-and-staff/Documents/Cho%20cv.10.2018.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tenured law professor at DePaul University College of Law.</a> Dr. Cho lectures on many subjects for the university but most commonly teaches a Critical Race Theory seminar and courses on Employment Discrimination, Feminist Jurisprudence, and Race, Racism &amp; U.S. Law.

In 2018, DePaul University <a href="https://depauliaonline.com/38281/news/front-news-law-school/">began an investigation into Dr. Cho</a> after claims of “disruptive, bullying workplace behavior” came to light. Pending an internal investigation, she faced two years of unpaid suspension. Dr. Cho then countersued against DePaul University and the law school’s Dean. In the suit against the Dean, Dr. Cho alleged she was retaliated against for being outspoken on racial issues and discrimination within the law school, claiming she and others were racially discriminated against. In the suit against the university, she claimed she was not getting equal pay to white, male cohorts. <a href="https://www.abajournal.com/magazine/article/a-recent-spate-of-gender-discrimination-and-equal-pay-lawsuits-filed-by-female-law-professors-has-shined-a-light-on-the-otherwise-opaque-academic-compensation-process">The university eventually settled in mediation.</a>

In August 2021, Dr. Cho was one of the core faculty members at the AAPF’s <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210813210238/https://www.aapf.org/crtsummerschool" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CRT Summer School event</a>. She lectured on racism in the United States and was <a href="https://twitter.com/JossTGreene/status/1425852304046104585" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quoted by Joss Greene</a>, an attendee and postdoctoral fellow, as stating that “anti-blackness is at the root of antidemocratic projects.” Another attendee quoted Dr. Cho accusing conservatives of “co-opting and commandeering the liberal concept of academic freedom to be used as a sword and shield, in terms of ideological warfare.” Dr. Cho was also quoted asserting that today’s bans on CRT in schools are precursors to “school vouchers and white segregation academies.” The Twitter user has since made their profile private.

Dr. Cho has been featured many times as a “legal scholar”  on a Q&amp;A website titled, <a href="https://www.racepowerofanillusion.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Race: The Power of an Illusion”</a> discussing several subjects. Dr. Cho <a href="https://www.racepowerofanillusion.org/qa/why-do-recent-immigrants-do-better-african-americans-socioeconomically" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses conservatives of pushing</a> a false distinction, not only between race and ethnicity, but also immigrants vs. African Americans. She criticizes conservatives by arguing that they use Asian Americans as the example for why affirmative action is not necessary for other minorities.

<a href="https://www.racepowerofanillusion.org/qa/are-reparations-slavery-appropriate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In another Q&amp;A</a>, Dr. Cho details the necessity for reparations for slavery. She writes that she thinks reparations are absolutely necessary. She believes that both individual payments and payments to African American institutions are crucial to make things “equitable”.

Correction: A previous version of this profile stated the court dismissed the racial claims in Dr. Cho’s lawsuit. The case was allowed to proceed in part before it was settled in mediation in accordance with the Equal Pay Act. The profile has since been corrected.

<a href="https://michigan.law.umich.edu/faculty-and-scholarship/our-faculty/barbara-l-mcquade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbara McQuade</a> is a professor at the University of Michigan Law School. According to her university profile, her interests include criminal law, criminal procedure, national security, data privacy, and civil rights. She was appointed by President Obama and served as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan from 2010 to 2017.
McQuade has been outspoken about her belief that former President Trump should be charged with manslaughter for the events that took place on January 6, 2021. On July 16, she wrote an op-ed for MSNBC titled, <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/did-trump-commit-manslaughter-jan-6-committee-doj-should-find-n1297314" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The case for charging Trump with manslaughter.”</a>
In this article, McQuade argues that the “loss of life was predictable in light of the size of the mob, their emotional state and their use of force.” She believes Trump knew the crowd was armed and said, “Unlike most members of the public who have no duty to take action to prevent a crime, a president has a constitutional duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.””
She concludes her comments by writing:
“Donald Trump once said he could “stand in the middle [of] Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and not lose any voters. Can he also cause the deaths of five people and not lose his liberty?” 
She tweeted a link to her op-ed on October 25, 2022 with the caption, “Here is my analysis of involuntary manslaughter charges for Trump. This theory is probably a bridge too far for DOJ, but failing to a [sic] call off the mob when he knew they were armed and angry makes the resulting deaths at the Capitol reasonably forseeable.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
McQuade is also outspoken about her beliefs on gun control. In an <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/america-s-gun-infatuation-threat-supreme-court-could-make-it-n1283362" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC op-ed,</a> she wrote “America’s infatuation with guns is a national security threat.” She states: “I was one of 30 former national security officials to sign on to an amicus brief arguing that unrestricted access to concealable firearms poses a great threat to public safety.” She ended the piece by claiming, “&#8230;like all rights, those described in Second Amendment are not absolute.”
In a TIME article, titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220204035713/https://time.com/6122142/kyle-rittenhouse-verdict/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict Makes Us All Less Safe,”</a> she poses the question:
“Looking at this case broadly, how can it be that our laws permit a teenager to escape criminal liability after he travels from out of state to a scene of civil unrest, violates a curfew specifically designed to keep people off the streets, and ostentatiously carries with him an assault weapon that results in deadly harm?” 
She goes on to argue that Rittenhouse will become the “poster boy for right-wing extremists and politicians.” She justifies this statement by saying, “Rep. Matt Gaetz has already stated that Rittenhouse would make a good congressional intern.”
She claims the Rittenhouse verdict will “be a larger message to society that we should embrace vigilante justice” and will “promote irresponsible use of assault weapons under the banner of the Second Amendment.” Therefore, she believes the verdict makes everyone “less safe.”

Dr. Allyn Walker is an openly transgender —preferred pronouns they/them—a postdoctoral fellow at the <a href="https://publichealth.jhu.edu/">Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health</a>. In June of 2021, Dr. Walker <a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520306363/a-long-dark-shadow">wrote a book titled</a>, A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1773 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-15-at-11.31.39-AM.png" alt="" width="466" height="222" />

The book, which Dr. Walker describes as interview-based research, discusses non-offending pedophiles (or Minor-Attracted Persons, as Dr. Walker calls them). According to Dr. Walker, the book highlights people who are attracted to minors who don’t don’t commit violent crimes in order to challenge the “widespread assumption that those who are ‘preferentially attracted to minors’ are always predators and sex offenders.” The book details how those who don’t commit violent crimes against children navigate their feelings and attraction to minors.

On November 11, 2021<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1458985538334068740?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a series of videos on Twitter of Dr. Walker came to light</a>. In these videos, Dr. Walker tries to normalize the term “Minor-Attracted Person” (MAP) and destigmatize pedophilia. In the video, Dr. Walker claims that it is important to call a group by a name in which they want to be called. Dr. Walker states that groups are advocating for MAP as their name because it’s less stigmatized than the term pedophile, and they are doing nothing wrong if they aren’t committing violent crimes against children. Dr. Walker goes on to say that who a person is attracted to (in this case children) isn’t indicative of the morality of that person or that attraction. The video series can be viewed below:

https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1458985538334068740?s=21

After the video received a significant amount of backlash, <a href="https://www.wtkr.com/news/odu-releases-statement-after-assistant-professor-gives-controversial-interview-defending-people-attracted-to-children">Old Dominion University—Dr. Walker’s employer at the time—released a statement</a>, asserting that, as an academic community, it’s vital to be “willing to consider scientific and other empirical data that may involve controversial issues and perspectives.” They went on to claim that they don’t endorse or promote any crimes against children or any form of criminal activity.

Old Dominion University would later announce that Dr. Allyn Walker would <a href="https://www.odu.edu/news/2021/11/a_statement_from_old_dominion_university#.Yn343qjMI2w">resign at the expiration of his contract</a> in May 2022.

<a href="https://www.jgillpeterson.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jules Gill-Peterson</a> is an Associate Professor of History at <a href="https://www.jhu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johns Hopkins University</a>. He has referred to the gender binary as “junk science” and advocated for allowing children to transition at any age.

In his substack—<a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/archive?sort=new" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sad Brown Girl</a>—Peterson attacks conservatives as transphobic, denies there can be only two genders, and documents his life as a transwoman and activist. In one article, titled “The Cis State,” he claims the <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/the-cis-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gender binary never existed historically in the medical community</a>. Rather, politicians and psychologists invented the concept 70 years ago in a nefarious attempt to control people.

“...[S]ex did not become cis until the invention of the concept of gender in the mid-twentieth century. Gender was invented by psychologists to bring order to the collapse of the sex binary in science and medicine.”  

During an interview with Scientific American, <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/video/how-junk-science-is-being-used-against-trans-kids2/#Echobox=1649463388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peterson claims the idea of a gender binary is still weaponized by present-day scientists against trans people.</a> After being introduced by the host as a “science historian,” he again states that scientists had no idea what determined sex or gender until the mid-20th century.

Further on, Peterson asserts there is no consensus on what determines whether someone is male or female. He then compares any scientific attempts to do so with the “junk science” of the eugenics movement and inflicting harm on trans people.

Peterson often addresses issues surrounding transgender children and berates critics who challenge that children can transition at a young age. On his <a href="https://twitter.com/gp_jls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal Twitter account</a>, Peterson urges his followers to “champion” trans children, and even “to want there to be trans kids in the world.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
South Dakota has spent SEVEN YEARS working to pass this anti-trans bill. Trans people have had to organize against it for seven years—and now it passes. Chase is right, everyone needs to champion trans kids in progressive coalition. Kids can’t outrun seven relentless years alone. <a href="https://t.co/UTael9Kkdx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/UTael9Kkdx</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I believe more than ever that the way to end a child-hating culture where everyone is invested in children suffering is to learn to want there to be trans kids in this world. To relinquish the wish that we selfishly own them. To greet transness not as hypothetical but valuable. <a href="https://t.co/pMqf4Gx5zK" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/pMqf4Gx5zK</a>

&nbsp;

In a separate thread, he calls for the “abolition” of the family to relieve the “bulwark” of protection that parents provide children.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
an underrated problem in the left’s neoliberal retreat from family abolition (shoutout again to <a href="https://twitter.com/reproutopia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@reproutopia</a>) is that trans kids are left with a pitifully anemic option for care. the...family? we except the family to ideally care for trans kids? based on what evidence?!

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I am certainly heartened that many families do love and champion their trans kids. but I also want a political movement that relieves loving trans kids from a privatized, sentimental and normative politics of the family as bulwark against the various ends of the world underway.

Peterson claims that <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/163113/behind-gop-strategy-outlaw-trans-youth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it’s false to “presume” that trans kids will be cared for by their families</a>. His comments appeared in an interview with The New Republic, where he depicted parents as an impediment to trans children. He attacks white women as segregationists who weaponize their status as mothers to fuel anti-trans legislation. “The figure of the mom is hanging over everything,” she states.

In a separate substack article, <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/we-the-abuser-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he further claims that “parental rights” are inhibiting minors from making fully autonomous decisions about their gender</a>.

“The slogan of ‘parental rights” is at the root of the fantasy that children are quasi-property, not people.”

Conservatives who object to transitioning children are <a href="https://thenewinquiry.com/from-gender-critical-to-qanon-anti-trans-politics-and-the-laundering-of-conspiracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">branded as QAnon-style conspiracy theorists</a> who are aiming to construct an “<a href="https://jewishcurrents.org/the-anti-trans-lobbys-real-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authoritarian Christian ethnostate.</a>”

Much of this ire is directed toward author Abigail Shrier author of, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Irreversible Damage.”</a> The book examines the exponential increase in rates of gender dysphoria among teenagers—of which Shrier attributes to <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/how-peer-contagion-plays-into-the-rise-of-teens-transitioning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“peer contagion”</a>—and the negative, <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">long-term health effects on teens who undergo gender transitions</a>.

Reacting to a Senate testimony delivered by Shrier on trans children, Peterson <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/abigail-shrier-goes-to-washington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labels her as a “TERF”</a> (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) who is unqualified to speak on trans issues, in part because Shrier is not transgender herself. She accuses Shrier of flirting with white supremacy and peddling “pedophilic fantasies.”

“I invite you to join me in standing against the extreme sexual harassment, pedophilic fantasies, and torturous sadism of TERF and anti-trans rhetoric peddled by people like Shrier, backed up by an army of internet trolls and well-funded cultural tastemakers getting rich off pretending they are humiliated and canceled.“

Peterson is also the author of “History of the Transgender Child,” which maintains that <a href="https://history.jhu.edu/faculty-books/histories-of-the-transgender-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender children have been prevalent and well-documented over the last century</a>. He further serves as the General Editor of <a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/tsq-transgender-studies-quarterly">Transgender Studies Quarterly</a>, of which the next issue will feature “Trans Marxist” authors and perspectives.

Her research interests “address how mid-twentieth century writers of both fiction and non-fiction strategically deployed racial language in American popular culture.”

Mott’s university profile also mentions a manuscript titled, “Saving the Soul of the Great Republic: Imagining Race and Writing Democracy.” According to the description, the book “argues that authors writing during the inter- and postwar years of the twentieth century relied on ‘literary racial transvestism,’ a practice wherein black authors wrote novels with predominantly white characters and [vice versa].”

The College Fix said the countersuit mentions a home in the same neighborhood that sold within a month of Mott’s. The same company appraised the home for $7,000 less than the purchase price. Further, Mott and her husband did not provide their appraiser with documentation of any additional estimates showing a higher home value.

<a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yascha Mounk</a> is a Professor of Practice of International Affairs at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Mounk’s faculty profile says he is “a political scientist known for his work on the rise of populism and the crisis of liberal democracy.”

Mounk was outspoken on Twitter after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. Mounk wrote that Israel “has every right to defend itself” but that their response constituted “moral error” when Palestinians become casualties. However, Mounk did not acknowledge <a href="https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas’ use of human shields as a war tactic</a>. The militant group often stores its arsenal inside civilian structures (e.g. schools, hospitals, and mosques).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hamas murdered over 1,400 people in an indescribably sadistic manner.

Its leaders have made it very clear that they will continue to murder Israeli civilians if given the chance.

Israel has every right to defend itself.

But that is all the more reason for Israel to operate in…
— Yascha Mounk (@Yascha_Mounk) <a href="https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1719768116756963781?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

On February 7, 2024, <a href="https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/higher-education/johns-hopkins-professor-rape-allegation-H5NESC5J3FCG7E7CFLQDPVV7R4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Baltimore Banner</a> featured Mounk in an article titled, “Johns Hopkins University investigates rape allegations against professor.” The Banner writes, “[JHU] has opened an investigation into a prominent international affairs professor after a woman accused him of rape … Hopkins officials said they have referred the matter to the university’s <a href="https://oie.jhu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Office of Institutional Equity</a>.”

According to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/02/05/atlantic-yascha-mounk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>, Mounk said, “I am aware of the horrendous allegations against me. It is categorically untrue.” The Post also referred to <a href="https://libertiesjournal.com/articles/after-rape-a-guide-for-the-tormented/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an essay</a> published by the victim that said, “When the shrieking stops … you will reach the phase at which all you can think and talk about is the rape.”

JHU has not publicly stated whether Mounk will remain in his faculty position. As of publication, <a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his profile</a> does not show him on leave from the college.

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/nadra-hebouche.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nadra Hebouche</a> is an Associate Professor of Francophone Studies and French and Department Chair of French,Francophone Studies at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. Her university profile states that she researches “Francophone postcolonial literature, migrant literature, diasporic identities, [and] ecocriticism.”
Hebouche was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 
Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”
The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”
The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 
They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

McNulty’s university profile states she is a “Latin Americanist with expertise in participatory governance, gender, decentralization, and development.”

In March 2021, McNulty co-authored an <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2021/03/12/colleges-must-acknowledge-challenges-facing-female-academics-who-juggle-work-and#.YHTMhYqX9L4.link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on equity. The authors put forth the following goal to resolve what they deem to be the lessening of diversity and equity caused by COVID-19:
“For starters, every institution must acknowledge the problem and openly address what can appear invisible and ignored to those of us living in this reality. The academy risks emerging from this pandemic with less diversity and gender equity than before unless we change course. The first step is initiating a conversation and listening. Once people have a space to talk openly about their challenges, a lot of problem solving and solutions naturally emerge.”\

According to the same profile, Dicklitch-Nelson is also “the founder and Principal Investigator (PI) of the <a href="https://www.fandmglobalbarometers.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">F&amp;M Global Barometers,</a>which include the F&amp;M Global Barometer of Gay RightsTM (F&amp;M GBGR) and the F&amp;M Global Barometer of Transgender RightsTM (F&amp;M GBTR). The F&amp;M Global Barometers are part of the LGBTI Global Human Rights Initiative.”  

Moreover, Dicklitch-Nelson “launched the <a href="https://www.lgbtqiperceptionindex.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBTQI Perception Index</a>: the first-ever global survey that seeks to shed light on the lived human rights realities of LGBTQI individuals in 204 countries. The LGBTQI Perception Index will complement the <a href="https://www.fandmglobalbarometers.org/summit-for-democracy-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBTQI Human Rights Report Cards</a> that were prepared for the <a href="https://www.state.gov/summit-for-democracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House Summit for Democracy</a>.”

Dicklitch-Nelson was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

Moore was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.colorado.edu/center/caaas/nathan-alexander-moore" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nathan Alexander Moore</a> is an Assistant Professor of Black Trans and Queer Studies in the Department of Women &amp; Gender Studies at CU Boulder. A biological male, Moore identifies as a female and uses “she/they” pronouns when referring to himself. 
According to his university profile, Moore is an “interdisciplinary scholar who is interested in critical and creative methods to explore the nuances of Blackness, queerness, and temporality. [His] research and writing interests include Black transfemininity, Black speculative arts practices, Black temporalities, and Black visual art and literature.” He also describes himself as a “Black transfemme writer, scholar, and educator.”
In April, Moore published a fictional book titled “<a href="https://www.hajarpress.com/books/the-rupture-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Rupture Files</a>,” which centers around black queer characters. The book’s publisher, Hajar Press, describes it as follows: 
“Across multiple worlds in upheaval, a curious cast of Black queer characters must choose between what they already know themselves to be and what they might yet become in the cataclysm. […]At once tender and audacious, Nathan Alexander Moore’s debut collection tells the stories of extraordinary creatures making impossible but human decisions. Traversing apocalypses both big and small, these captivating tales vibrate with the tensions between loss and growth; self and community; precarity and possibility.”
In 2023, Moore co-wrote an <a href="https://www.academia.edu/118016610/A_Tranifesto_for_the_Dolls_Toward_a_Trans_Femme_of_Color_Theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “A Tranifesto for the Dolls: Toward a Trans Femme of Color Theory.” The article is a dialogue between “trans women and femme scholars of color” who discuss “what a trans femme of color theory might look like.” These academics ponder a theory “that positions trans femmes of color not only as objects of study but also as producers of knowledge and subjects central to the ﬁeld of trans studies.”
During Moore’s portion of dialogue, the professor criticizes “black normative gender performance” and argues that masculinity is allegedly the mode by which blacks have thought through their emancipation during history. 
“Black normative gender performance is one way that Black beings have attempted to lessen the violence that began with the transatlantic slave trade. What I ﬁnd most interesting is that gender, and more particularly maleness or masculinity, have been the key to thinking through one’s emancipation.”
Addressing masculinity further, Moore states: 
“If maleness and masculinity have meant one vector through which attempts at freedom have been actualized, then perhaps it is productive that we think about how femaleness, femininity, and speciﬁcally Black transfemininity is a space that ruptures these attempts, that unsettles the linear progression from enslaved fungible ﬂesh to Black normatively gendered citizen.”
For Moore, “Black transfemininity” — alluded to towards the end of the above paragraph — is the way to “rupture” black gender normativity (for instance, the supposed masculine image that represents the fight for freedom, according to Moore).
“Black transfemininity both moves with the weight of history, while at the same time pointing us toward those uncharted territories for more livable futures. In this way, Black transfemmes might be conceived as walking ruptures of temporality and the supposedly stable geographies of normative gender. I want to propose Black transfemininity as a space of rupturing, an opening up and a pulling apart of the social fabric, a rending of our discursive lexicons, and the productive unsettling of our imaginaries.”

Dr. <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/jennifer-ho">Jennifer Ho</a> is a Professor of Asian American Studies and Director of the Center for Humanities &amp; the Arts at the University of Colorado-Boulder. According to her university <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/jennifer-ho">biography</a>, Professor Ho’s research interests include cultural studies, intersectionality, critical race studies, anti-racist theory, and critical mixed race studies.

Critical Theory, or Critical Race Theory, is an intellectual branch of Marxism that alleges American society and all of its founding institutions are infected with white supremacy. Furthermore, proponents of Critical Race Theory believe that people should take proactive steps to dismantle these institutions in the name of equity, which is also referred to as being “anti-racist.” Some Critical Race Theorists, such as Nikole Hannah-Jones, also <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/">claim</a> that America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

In an <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">article</a> for The Conversation, titled, “White Supremacy is the Root of all race-related violence in the US,” Professor Ho alleges that all hate crimes committed in the United States are the result of white supremacy. The article is her response to the March 16th, 2021 <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/3-dead-shooting-georgia-massage-parlor-suspect-loose-n1261262">mass shooting</a> of massage parlors in Atlanta, George, that killed eight people, six of them being Asian-Americans.

Professor Ho attributes not just the March 2021 Atlanta shootings to white supremacy, but she actually attributes all hate crimes to white supremacy, regardless of whether or not they were committed by a white person. In the same <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">article</a>, Professor Ho lists a series of anti-Asian hate crimes perpetrated by black men before stating that white supremacy is the cause for all of them.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1381 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-05-24T162337.311-e1621898679178-1024x381.png" alt="" width="580" height="216" />

Professor Ho further <a href="https://theconversation.com/white-supremacy-is-the-root-of-all-race-related-violence-in-the-us-157566">describes</a> white supremacy as an ideology “ingrained” into American institutions and the driving force behind the dehumanizing of Asian-Americans as well Black Americans.

The University of Colorado-Boulder features Professor Ho’s work on the College of Arts and Science’s website, in a <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2020/04/08/anti-asian-racism-and-covid-19">web page</a> titled, “Anti-Asian Racism and Covid-19”. In addition to claiming that “millions” of unarmed black men have been killed by police, Professor Ho also alleges that it is also racist to state that COVID-19 originated in China.

Updated - May 2021

<a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/people/core-faculty/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Reiland Rabaka</a> is a Professor of Africana Studies as well as Critical Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Ethnic Studies</a> at the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Colorado at Boulder</a>. He also serves as <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/humanities/reiland-rabaka" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Humanities</a> in the <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/artsandsciences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College of Arts and Sciences</a>.

Dr. Rabaka identifies publicly as a “democratic socialist” and a scholar of fields such as “black radical politics,” decolonial theory, and critical race theory. His lectures depict the United States as an inherently white-supremacist nation and herald the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a necessary counter to systematic racism.

In a video sponsored by the university, Dr. Rabaka describes American society as having <a href="https://www.coursera.org/lecture/antiracism-2/dr-reiland-rabaka-interventions-in-racist-terminologies-qp12a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">culminated in the “social, economic, spiritual, and cultural” death of black people</a>. He attributes this to our nation's alleged addiction to “black death.”

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-America-is-addicted-to-Black-Death.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

He repeated this accusation during a lecture for Florida Gulf Coast University’s <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/ccres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Critical Race and Ethnic Studies</a>. During the event—hosted by professor and the Center Director, <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/directory/tthornhill">Dr. Ted Thornill</a>—Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsS6RAfiesI&amp;ab_channel=FGCUUniversityMarketingCommunications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">characterizes the nation as a “colonial project” that was built on racial and economic enslavement</a>.

To learn more about Dr. Thornhill, readers can view his <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/tedthornhill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.

Dr. Rabaka addresses BLM at length during the Q&amp;A section, characterizing the movement as a response to the nation’s “deeply entrenched racism.” At one point, a member of the audience asks Dr. Rabaka how he would respond if BLM was characterized as a terrorist organization; Rather than answer the question, he proceeds to deflect and counter that Christopher Columbus should be considered a terrorist for committing a “holocaust” against Native Americans. He denounces both the Founding Fathers and Pilgrims in his tirade, accusing each of participating in “racial terrorism.”

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabaka-the-Pilgrims-are-terrorists.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Continuing, he urges “white administrators” to invest in BLM-themed curriculums and workshops in order to raise consciousness about the movement. Dr. Rabaka <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2021/03/02/black-lives-matter-course-aims-foster-campus-transformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personally teaches a BLM-themed course at UC-Boulder</a>.

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman for his murder. Although purporting to be a civil-rights organization, the movement has been tied to violent confrontations and riots across the country.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Throughout his lecture, Dr. Rabaka praises Angela Davis and Assata Shakur, whose work he considers instrumental to the BLM movement. Shakur is a former <a href="https://spectatorworld.com/topic/black-lives-matter-praising-terrorist-assata-shakur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">member of the Black Liberation Army and convicted cop killer</a>. She currently resides in Cuba as a guest of the communist government; authorities have offered 2 million dollars for her capture.

Angela Davis is a former vice-presidential candidate for the Communist Party and early member of the Black Panther Party. Davis is notoriously known for <a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/hollywoods-undying-love-communist-angela-davis-arnold-ahlert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her role in the Marin County Civic Center Attack, which left 4 dead</a>.

To learn more about Angela Davis, users can view her <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist</a>.

Another individual Dr. Rabaka praises in his lecture is scholar W.E.B Du Bois. A prominent author at the turn of the 20th century, Du Bois was a life-long adherent to communism, going <a href="https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/biographies/1953/03/16.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">so far as to eulogize Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin after his death in 1953</a>.

In a separate lecture at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Reiland+Rabaka+" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Rabaka lauds Du Bois specifically for his contributions to socialism</a>. At one point, the professor displays pictures of Du Bois meeting with Nikita Khrushchev and Mao Zedong, hailing both as proof of Du Bois international standing.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Rabka-Du-Bois-and-Mao-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mao-Zedong">Mao</a>—who chaired the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death in 1976—is widely considered one of the deadliest heads of state in history–<a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/the-legacy-mao-zedong-mass-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an estimated 65 million Chinese perished from his regime</a>. Mao's deadliest campaign—referred to as the “Great Leap Forward”—<a href="https://www.hudson.org/research/7342-mao-s-great-leap-forward-and-the-power-of-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">caused an estimated 40 million to die from starvation and overwork in labor camps</a>.

All three lectures are listed at the bottom of the profile in full.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Rabaka for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<a href="https://www.colorado.edu/center/caaas/nathan-alexander-moore" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nathan Alexander Moore</a> is an Assistant Professor of Black Trans and Queer Studies in the Department of Women &amp; Gender Studies at CU Boulder. A biological male, Moore identifies as a female and uses “she/they” pronouns when referring to himself. 

According to his university profile, Moore is an “interdisciplinary scholar who is interested in critical and creative methods to explore the nuances of Blackness, queerness, and temporality. [His] research and writing interests include Black transfemininity, Black speculative arts practices, Black temporalities, and Black visual art and literature.” He also describes himself as a “Black transfemme writer, scholar, and educator.”

In April, Moore published a fictional book titled “<a href="https://www.hajarpress.com/books/the-rupture-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Rupture Files</a>,” which centers around black queer characters. The book’s publisher, Hajar Press, describes it as follows: 
“Across multiple worlds in upheaval, a curious cast of Black queer characters must choose between what they already know themselves to be and what they might yet become in the cataclysm. […]At once tender and audacious, Nathan Alexander Moore’s debut collection tells the stories of extraordinary creatures making impossible but human decisions. Traversing apocalypses both big and small, these captivating tales vibrate with the tensions between loss and growth; self and community; precarity and possibility.”
In 2023, Moore co-wrote an <a href="https://www.academia.edu/118016610/A_Tranifesto_for_the_Dolls_Toward_a_Trans_Femme_of_Color_Theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “A Tranifesto for the Dolls: Toward a Trans Femme of Color Theory.” The article is a dialogue between “trans women and femme scholars of color” who discuss “what a trans femme of color theory might look like.” These academics ponder a theory “that positions trans femmes of color not only as objects of study but also as producers of knowledge and subjects central to the ﬁeld of trans studies.”

During Moore’s portion of dialogue, the professor criticizes “black normative gender performance” and argues that masculinity is allegedly the mode by which blacks have thought through their emancipation during history. 
“Black normative gender performance is one way that Black beings have attempted to lessen the violence that began with the transatlantic slave trade. What I ﬁnd most interesting is that gender, and more particularly maleness or masculinity, have been the key to thinking through one’s emancipation.”
Addressing masculinity further, Moore states: 
“If maleness and masculinity have meant one vector through which attempts at freedom have been actualized, then perhaps it is productive that we think about how femaleness, femininity, and speciﬁcally Black transfemininity is a space that ruptures these attempts, that unsettles the linear progression from enslaved fungible ﬂesh to Black normatively gendered citizen.”
For Moore, “Black transfemininity” — alluded to towards the end of the above paragraph — is the way to “rupture” black gender normativity (for instance, the supposed masculine image that represents the fight for freedom, according to Moore).
“Black transfemininity both moves with the weight of history, while at the same time pointing us toward those uncharted territories for more livable futures. In this way, Black transfemmes might be conceived as walking ruptures of temporality and the supposedly stable geographies of normative gender. I want to propose Black transfemininity as a space of rupturing, an opening up and a pulling apart of the social fabric, a rending of our discursive lexicons, and the productive unsettling of our imaginaries.”
