The Professor Is In team, Dr. Karen Kelsky and Kel Weinhold join Adam and Andrew in the Ivory Tower Boiler Room. Their discussion centers on ending gaslighting and how to push for more equity in academia.
Some Topics Covered:
-Academia is a cult in need of transparency
-Who is expected to bring social change? Overburdened women, queer people, and People of Color.
-#MeTooPhD: How and why do supposedly modern, liberal professors allow (and even perpetrate) sex-crimes on campus?
The conversation between Andrew and Adam and Kel and Karen is a laugh-filled trip through a world of serious issues, providing a great reminder that humor is a wonderful antidote to the stress that we’re all feeling and an important way to take care of your mental health.
