I found this really powerful because this is, in part, the result of my, and others, self preservation in academia. Since I opted out of academia (after five years of rejection, natch) I am able to speak more freely. So let me say some truths about the experience🧵
It starts in grad school. If you study the Modern Middle East, you come to quickly realize that Israel/Palestine is a hotwire topic that can enrage colleagues and split departments. I was lucky. My department was not riven by conflict and I never had to "pick" sides. 2/18
But I did learn quickly that was not the case everywhere, someone else can spill that tea. Also, since I studied Egypt, it was not the very basis of my career. On the whole, I say, like everything else in academia, the faculty are doing the best they can. 3/18
