Faculty on the Edge 2: Vulnerability

What this episode covers

In this episode, we explore the limits of identity politics, different forms of vulnerability in the classroom, and the academic personas we cultivate. We reflect on the significance of gender, the structural vulnerabilities intensified by the current political moment, and whether academia has long operated under assumptions of invulnerability, particularly when it comes to academic freedom. We also take up the increasingly contentious question of viewpoint diversity and what it might mean in practice.
