Freedom of speech or freedom to silence
Extreme Rightwing Organizations (EROs) routinely use media outlets to harass professors and students. Simultaneously, EROs fund speakers and campus organizations that have a history of intimidating members of academic communities. Debates about how and whether to respond to ERO tactics that are framed in terms of balancing ‘freedom of speech’ against ‘inclusion’ engage in a variety of color-evasive racism that sustains white supremacist ideology …
The US Minimalist Movement
The US minimalist movement represents an increasingly popular critical reflection on the ills of consumerism and an effort to forge new ways of living amidst consumer capitalism. In the face of escalating consumption, debt, and environmental degradation, minimalists’ calls for rethinking “needs” is timely and highlights important problems that typify US capitalism. This article explores minimalists’ social-theoretical insights and resistance to c…
Student evaluations of teaching
We argue that student evaluations of teaching (SETs) are a key tactic for justifying and maintaining white male dominance in US higher education. As such, tenure and promotion processes that rely on SETs as a measure of 'teaching quality' reproduce racial and gender inequality. We situate the contemporary use of SETs amidst a long history of technologies of power that deploy measurements to justify racial and gender inequality, including phrenolo…
Cleaning Up Bodhgaya
In 2007 the Indian government deployed police and soldiers in Bodhgaya to oversee the demolition of a number of long-standing businesses and homes. These actions were pursued as part of the "Master Plan," a sweeping, fifty-year government-led development plan for Bodhgaya, place of Buddha's enlightenment in the north Indian state of Bihar, designed to manage Bodhgaya's increasing global significance as a pilgrimage and tourism destination while n…
Refashioning Inequality
This article draws on ethnographic research on NGOs in Bodhgaya, India, and on the child welfare system in the San Diego-Tijuana area. We approach these sites as spaces where practices of social engagement and service provision translated perceptions about government deficiency into legitimate spaces of NGO operation and into what NGO staff described as desirable opportunities to pursue socially progressive work. We argue that as these NGO staff …
The Work of Social Work
This essay explores wage relations, social work, and the interplay of an array of class and nonclass processes in the context of NGOs in Bodhgaya, India, site of Buddha’s enlightenment. It argues that discourses of “social work,” “collaboration,” and “socially engaged Buddhism” have enabled foreign NGO directors, many of whom moved to India for humanitarian purposes, to rationalize wages below poverty level, to fetishize NGO projects as distinct …
