Fascinating & very contentious exchange about intellectual freedom and academic discourse between (a) trans Berekley professor @graceelavery & (b) two Penn State Queer Theory professors, one of whom she accused of being fascist & transphobic. The former's: blog.lareviewofbooks.org/essays/convers…
In reply, the 2 Queer Theory professors (long-time LGBT activists) accused of being right-wing transphobic fascists argued that campus culture is being shaped, & academic freedom crushed, by prolonged adolescence, which Lancet found now extends to age 24 blog.lareviewofbooks.org/essays/convers…
It's a really worthwhile exchange - both articles are very well-written & blunt - because it highlights the key tensions and conflicts about how we conduct intellectual and political discourse not only on academic campuses but in political media, newsrooms, and in culture.
The 2 Penn State Queer Theory professors I referenced above regarding their defense of free discourse & academic freedom - accused of helping transphobic fascists - have now publicly apologized for some of what they've said. Whole exchange is fascinating blog.lareviewofbooks.org/essays/lessons…
