Why are we hosting this event?

A few reasons...
Well first of all I'm pretty psyched to watch Terry Karl return to the Harvard Government department like
But also because Harvard's approach to the Dominguez sexual harassment scandal has been, essentially: Image
A summary of what Harvard has achieved in 2 years:

-form a committee ✅
-field as many climate surveys as possible ✅✅
-ban Domínguez from campus ✅

Achieving lasting institutional change is hard. But if we're serious about this, we need to stop forming committees of people who LET THESE THINGS HAPPEN, and start listening to those who blew the whistle and were ignored or silenced. Image

Russia hacked ex-MI6 chief's emails and claimed to have uncovered a British "deep state" conspiracy.

But the truth is a LOT more complicated...

👇 by me, for @ComputerWeekly / @BylineTimes

computerweekly.com/news/366565960…
In April 2022, Russian hackers leaked a cache of 22,000 emails from a network of encrypted Protonmail accounts, including ex-MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove.
The emails were uploaded to a site with the domain name "sneakystrawhead" – apparently a reference to Boris Johnson's typically unkempt hairstyle... Photo of Johnson's unkempt hair

A group of hard-right Brexiteers, including a former head of MI6, secretly attacked a top science journal after their debunked paper on an "alternative" Covid vaccine was rejected.

From @ComputerWeekly & @BylineTimes, this is a MUST READ 👇

This piece raises serious questions about the conduct of Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6 who is best known for his role in the intelligence failures surrounding the Iraq war. a photo of Richard Dearlove

I am so pleased to join the @AEI in honoring the distinguished career of political theorist and @Harvard professor Harvey C. Mansfield!

Check out this website, which celebrates Mansfield's most important intellectual contributions: mansfieldat90.com #Mansfieldat90
Mansfield's in-depth ethnographic work has given him an unmatched insight into the inner lives of Women. #Mansfieldat90 Quote box: "To a woman...
While feminist scholars pointed to spousal inequalities in domestic work, Mansfield's meticulous research allowed him to uncover previously unacknowledged contributions of men to the running of a household.

In 2021, Harvard apologized to Terry Karl and many others who were sexually harassed by Jorge Domínguez, acknowledging "institutional failures".

At the same time, Harvard was doing the exact same thing to the complainants in the Comaroff case!

And that's not the only overlap...
Jorge Domínguez had been director of the @HarvardWCFIA from 1996 - 2006, a position that allowed him to exert considerable power over funding opportunities.

John Comaroff is affiliated with the Weatherhead Center, as are (by my count) 22 of the 38 signatories to the open letter. Image of text: "Weatherhead affiliates Among the 38 sig
Of course, it's not exactly surprising that many social science faculty are affiliated with one of the main centers for social science research.

But several of the signatories hold (or held) leadership positions, not just affiliations.

Thanks @allthecitizens for interviewing me about @My_Little_Crony!

Adding new links to the map each week is depressing, but one silver lining is seeing a coalition of journalists, lawyers, academics, and citizens come together to expose this government's corruption.
On the origins of @My_Little_Crony in November 2020:

"I thought, I need a side project that's going to keep me occupied, something useful, that's nothing to do with Trump." Image
Q: Why does cronyism matter?

A: The idea that we created a ‘VIP lane’ for politically-connected firms goes against every set of anti-corruption best practices that's ever been written. By creating that system, the government incentivised all kinds of opportunistic behaviour. Image
