The Graves of Academe: ‘Harvard needs an Ethnic Studies concentration’ (#711 in a series)
An article in the Harvard Crimson bewails the absence of an “Ethnic Studies” concentration at the university. You can find it here.

Harvard’s Commitment to Allowing Unpopular Ideas to be Aired is Decidedly One-Sided
A professor of Middle Eastern studies has invited Dalal Saeb Iriqat, an extreme anti-Zionist and open supporter of Hamas and its October 7 attack to speak at the Kennedy School: “Harvard University Faces New Antisemitism Controversy with Invitation of Pro-Hamas Speaker,” by Dion J.

Harvard to feature speaker who blamed Israel for Hamas’ Oct. 7 jihad massacre
First, Harvard’s former president refused to say that calls for a new genocide of the Jews would violate campus rules. And now this.

Black Students at Harvard ‘Devastated’ by Claudine Gay’s Resignation, Solicitous of the Palestinians

Janel George has done rather well for herself. She’s an associate professor of law at Georgetown University School of Law, a plum position, well-paid and not too taxing. Janel George feels keenly, as a member of a “marginalized community,” the need to be constantly on the qui vive against White Supremacy. It is White Supremacy which […]
Sherri Ann Charleston, Diversity and Inclusion Head at Harvard, and Plagiarist
Did Sherri Ann Charleston really think she would get away with it? After the plagiarism scandal brought down her friend and protector Claudine Gay, she must have wondered if anyone would start to look into her own “scholarship.” And now the Washington Free Beacon, that samaritan organization, has done exactly that. Sherri Ann Charleston turns […]
The Graves of Academe (#756): Colonialism, Neocolonialism, Postcoloniality, Decoloniality
