Over the past few days, and starting with this brave post by Claudia, people started to publicly speak up about the #toxic #academic climate at the Harvard #STS department. I want to express my solidarity and call on all academics in positions of power to help change the structural problems in how science is governed. Don’t be part of the problem. https://medium.com/@claudia_gertraud/on-its-20th-anniversary-my-testimonial-on-the-harvard-sts-program-64100f6caac7

This piece from 2015 on the need to develop political imaginaries that go beyond #FreeSpeech is worth rereading after Musk started to allow certain individuals back on #Twitter http://editions.reanimatepublishing.org/read/thinking-beyond-free-speech-in-responding-to-online-harassment/section/f4aecc2b-265c-4ccd-b1fc-ea9a315f5545
