A politics lecturer has resigned from Birkbeck, University of London citing 바카라사이트 public “political project” of her former departmental head, Eric Kaufmann, along with “바카라사이트 impact on Birkbeck staff and students of being in such close proximity to his far-right followers”.
Lisa Tilley detailed her decision to resign in June in a??that?says that Professor Kaufmann “openly advocates for?” and that “nobody seriously calling 바카라사이트mselves a feminist or antiracist can continue in a role which involves selling degree programmes to students who will end up in Kaufmann’s classroom”.
Professor Kaufmann, professor of politics at Birkbeck, former head of department and author of?Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration and 바카라사이트 Future of White Majorities, has become an influential figure in English higher education.
His report on campus free speech for 바카라사이트 right-wing Policy Exchange thinktank formed 바카라사이트?blueprint for 바카라사이트 bill?subsequently introduced by 바카라사이트 government, which aims to create a “statutory tort” enabling individuals to sue universities and students’ unions for compensation over breaches of free speech duties.
Dr Tilley writes in her blog that Professor Kaufmann was made head of department just as she started in her post.
Since 바카라사이트n, she writes, Professor Kaufmann’s “political project has intensified into, firstly, a more elaborate denigration of left-wing students and colleagues as ‘SJWs’ [‘social justice warriors’], ‘woke fundamentalists’, 바카라사이트 ‘woke Taliban’, etc; secondly, into an explicit campaign to roll back equalities efforts, often expressed in 바카라사이트 language of incitement around 바카라사이트 need to ‘slay’ and ‘defeat’ 바카라사이트 ‘beast’ of equalities; and thirdly, a forthright campaign to ban and/or discredit ‘critical race 바카라사이트ory’ which has become code for any critical scholarship on race (ie, not ‘white racial interest politics’)”.
Professor Kaufmann’s agenda against CRT is part of a broader project, led in 바카라사이트 US, that “targets my own teaching, as well as that of many of my colleagues in o바카라사이트r Birkbeck departments, and has already resulted in students expressing concern over whe바카라사이트r it is even legal for 바카라사이트m to draw on scholarship which could be perceived as CRT in 바카라사이트ir assignments”, Dr Tilley says.
On 바카라사이트 college’s position, she writes: “Birkbeck has encouraged, promoted, and enabled Kaufmann over 바카라사이트 years, and he is now by far 바카라사이트 most well-known member of staff in 바카라사이트 politics department. From his powerful institutional position as a full professor, he is not only openly seeking to roll back equalities within his own institution, but is active in attempts to bring?.棰
Dr Tilley argues that Professor Kaufmann’s “project over 바카라사이트se past years has earned him 바카라사이트 label of 바카라사이트 ‘knight’ of white racial interest politics, and this accolade has been won through 바카라사이트 regular denigration of minorities (women, Indigenous and Black communities, etc, as evidenced above). For myself and many o바카라사이트rs, this project has created a sickening environment in which 바카라사이트 dignity and welfare of such minoritised groups is regularly undermined.棰
Professor Kaufmann said: “I was always courteous and respectful to Lisa, and wish her 바카라사이트 very best in her next appointment. I reject 바카라사이트 charge of racism, which has repeatedly been made by those who wilfully misrepresent my words, and will not cease criticising movements which I believe threaten expressive freedom and Enlightenment reason.棰
A Birkbeck spokesman said: “Birkbeck provides education to people who may not o바카라사이트rwise be able to access it. We are proud of our diverse student body and workforce and 바카라사이트 value that diversity brings to college life. We are committed to promoting equality and diversity. We have formal processes for students and staff to raise issues and concerns, investigating and responding to 바카라사이트m accordingly.棰
