I’m sorry everyone. I’m sorry. I know I’m about to start yelling at people I like and respect a lot BUT....CAN WE PLEASE PUT ASIDE QUESTIONS ABOUT CITING JOOSTEN UNTIL AFTER WE’VE TALKED ABOUT HOW WE CAN PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING EVER AGAIN?!!

I’ll start: what are the structures that caused this. I cannot believe no one knew. He was doing it for 6 years. Who knew and said nothing? How do we find out? Ok that’s one thing.

2. What do we need to do as a FIELD to send the message to future pedo professors that the academy IS NOT A SAFE PLACE for them. The academy is already not a safe place for so many people from women to first-gen scholars to scholars of color. How do we make it unsafe for pedos

3. What active positive steps can we take in terms of mentoring? What can profs do now to make sure that grad students already know that this behavior is career poison the way students are already terrified into believing that less than expert ancient language skills is death?

4. Something I notice about a lot of society is the inability/unwillingness to actually SEE child abuse and child sex abuse. I mean, do we need to say “Believe Children”? Because we need to believe children.
