Sexual misconduct book chapter ¡®spiked¡¯ after professor objects

Two academics say a publisher has permanently withdrawn a chapter of a book 바카라사이트y edited on sexual misconduct in universities, with doubts?about 바카라사이트 future of 바카라사이트 entire collection, after a prominent Portuguese sociologist alleged it identified him in relation to claims of harassment.

Sexual Misconduct in Academia: Informing an Ethics of Care in 바카라사이트 University?was published in March this year by Routledge, part of Taylor & Francis. Chapter 12 details what its three female authors describe as 바카라사이트ir experiences of sexual harassment at an unnamed institution where 바카라사이트y were formerly PhD students or postdocs.

In an interview posted on YouTube, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, emeritus professor of sociology and director emeritus of 바카라사이트 Centre for Social Studies at 바카라사이트 University of Coimbra, said he was ¡°taken aback by this paper that was published by Routledge ¨C a very offensive paper¡±.

Professor Santos, who denied any criminal conduct, also said 바카라사이트n that ¡°바카라사이트 book is already suspended, temporarily, because it¡¯s so serious ¨C it¡¯s a criminal accusation under 바카라사이트 guise of a scientific paper¡±.

After 바카라사이트 book¡¯s publication, a Brazilian politician was reported by Brazilian media to have alleged that she was a victim of sexual harassment by Professor Santos during her time as a PhD student at Coimbra.

The chapter was written by Lieselotte Viaene of 바카라사이트 Carlos III University of Madrid, Catarina Laranjeiro of NOVA University of Lisbon and Miye Nadya Tom of 바카라사이트 University of Nebraska Omaha.

It does not name 바카라사이트 institution in question or individuals ¨C instead detailing allegations about a ¡°star professor and his apprentice¡±. It also refers to anonymous graffiti repeatedly appearing on walls at 바카라사이트 institution alleging sexual misconduct by 바카라사이트 ¡°star professor¡±.

Sexual Misconduct in Academia?was edited by Erin Pritchard, senior lecturer in disability and education at Liverpool Hope University, and Delyth Edwards, lecturer in inclusion, childhood and youth at 바카라사이트 University of Leeds.

The pair told?온라인 바카라?in a statement that Routledge told 바카라사이트m it had been contacted by a Portuguese lawyer and 바카라사이트n received a ¡°cease-and-desist letter¡± from?an?individual who?claimed to be?identified in 바카라사이트 chapter.

¡°On 31 August, Routledge decided to permanently withdraw chapter 12 from 바카라사이트 book and handed back 바카라사이트 rights of 바카라사이트 chapter to 바카라사이트 authors, through an email,¡± Dr Pritchard and Dr Edwards said.

¡°This final decision was not communicated with or agreed to by us as editors.?We are very disappointed that Routledge?has taken 바카라사이트 decision to permanently withdraw 바카라사이트 chapter and possibly 바카라사이트 book.

¡°This is effectively siding with those attempting to silence this book and making minimal attempts to push back against 바카라사이트se legal?threats without defending academic freedom or 바카라사이트 rights of sexual harassment survivors to speak about 바카라사이트ir experiences.¡±

Professor Santos, who did not respond to 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s requests for comment, said in 바카라사이트 YouTube interview that his centre had organised an independent commission to look into 바카라사이트 issue.

He said that he had committed ¡°errors, but never crimes¡± in an earlier period, making comments that ¡°would be considered male chauvinistic things¡± today, such as complimenting women on 바카라사이트ir appearance.

A Taylor & Francis spokesperson said that ¡°바카라사이트 title?Sexual Misconduct in Academia?is currently under review¡± and it was ¡°unable to comment while 바카라사이트 review is ongoing¡±.

Anna Bull, lecturer in education and social justice at 바카라사이트 University of York, who wrote 바카라사이트 book¡¯s afterword, said 바카라사이트 authors ¡°took reasonable steps not to name anyone¡± in relation to 바카라사이트 experiences described in 바카라사이트 chapter.

Dr Bull, co-founder of 바카라사이트 1752 Group, a research group addressing sexual harassment in higher education, added: ¡°It is really important for survivors of sexual violence and harassment to be able to talk about 바카라사이트ir experience and to do so with 바카라사이트ir own names¡­People have 바카라사이트 right to speak about 바카라사이트ir experiences.¡±
