Wellesley Centers for Women IN THE NEWS "Sari Pekkala Kerr, an economist and senior research scientist at the Wellesley Centers for Women, teaches a women in the economy course annually. She begins the semester by asking students to raise their hands if they see themselves getting married one day and having kids. Last fall, 60% indicated that they think they wanted to get married, but only 25% would consider having children. Even Kerr was stunned. It was a significant decline compared to a decade ago."

Wellesley Centers for Women IN THE NEWS "Some states have passed laws in recent years to protect child victims of sex trafficking. But at the same time, most states have passed laws that allow those same children to be arrested or prosecuted for prostitution. It's a tug of war between advocates, law enforcement and policymakers to determine the best approach for keeping vulnerable children safe from pimps, predators and dangerous family members. Often these intentions to 'keep kids safe' end up harming the very children the laws are supposed to protect. This is done by identifying them as criminals and not victims." THE CONVERSATION

Abstract. Vitriolic disputes over trans identity and decolonisation have made university campuses into the battlegrounds of the culture wars. Yet the connections between these controversies and the epistemic function of the academy remain underexamined. In this article, I argue that the structures of oppression and privilege that activists seek to dismantle are sustained by the disciplinarity of the academy. Inspired by Sylvia Wynter’s radical critique of Western humanism, I show how the entrenched division between the sciences and the humanities upholds a biocentric conception of truth that underwrites “Man,” the mode of life that colonises the concept of the human. The article outlines Wynter’s theory of sociogenesis to interrogate the role of the disciplines in repressing awareness of the sociocultural constitution of modes of life, arguing that this denial of discursive construction sustains the hegemony of Man while foreclosing trans liberation. What follows, I suggest, is that the academy’s culture wars crises cannot be resolved through diversity policies. Instead, I call for a transformation of disciplinarity that untethers the academy from the epistemological commitments of Man. Only by eschewing positivism and universalism can institutions of higher education break with the coloniality of gender and contribute to reimagining the human. Keywords: coloniality; disciplinarity; epistemology; Sylvia Wynter; trans rights
Inspired by the work of Sylvia Wynter, I argue that the university upholds a biocentric order of knowledge that is structurally racist, ableist, and transphobic. Here's the abstract:
