This. I despise the notion that tenure magically empowers folks to speak out. If you& #39;re a coward before tenure, you& #39;ll be even more of a coward after. #Academia https://twitter.com/tressiemcphd/status/1266727638535675911">https://twitter.com/tressiemc...

The message in academia is "shut up and get your work done." As one former college said to me: "must you always rock the boat"? LOL. She missed the point that I was trying to flip it over.

I& #39;ve angered so many colleagues over the years for my activist work. They don& #39;t mind me writing about activism in a historical sense. But don& #39;t you dare get involved today! It& #39;s always easier to shut up and be docile in #academia. But at what cost?

"college" should have been *colleague* in this thread. You get the point.
