Thank you, my hero, @astra.bsky.social, for this beautiful blurb for On UnCertainty... pre-order here! www.versobooks.com/products/321...

It is precisely the people making a living by rolling their eyes at "standpoint epistemology" that most consistently catalogue the details of their own upbringing and identity before almost every piece.

“A bureaucratic restructuring that leads to the selective elimination of faculty members really puts academic freedom in jeopardy… particularly for professors who have displeased admin, trustees or donors.” — Mark Criley, Senior Officer in the AAUP Dept of Academic Freedom, Tenure & Governance.

He Had Tenure. The New School Laid Him Off Anyway.

The professor, a longtime critic of the university, was among 19 educators who lost their positions as the institution navigated financial woes.
