Why activism and academia are oil and water
Very true, and I'd add "journalism is not the same as activism OR advocacy."
Academia should be about searching for the truth, not pushing one's own version of it and shouting down all the others.
Yeah, thanks for the repost as I wasn’t aware of it. Very prescient, not only in a time of ideological academics who aren’t even aware of their ideologies, but mission-based university strategies.
So glad you enjoyed it. And yes, the mission-based strategies have issues.
