31 Science Groups Partner on Transgender Name-Change Requests

All 17 national laboratories and a group of scientific journals, publishers and other organizations said this week that they’ll partner to support name-change requests from researchers. The effort is aimed at making it easier -- administratively and personally -- for transgender scientists to claim their past work, which may have been published under another name. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is coordinating the changes, which will allow researchers to make name-change requests of publishers and journals through their institutions instead of on their own. Trans scholars and allies have long argued that it should be much easier to make name-change requests, and that scholars shouldn’t have to out themselves as trans; navigate individual publications’ policies, if they exist at all; or otherwise jump hurdles to continue to be linked to their own work.

“We are supporting our colleagues on an important issue that is often taken for granted -- allowing them to take full credit for their academic achievements with their name,” Joerg Heber, a research integrity officer at the lab, said in an announcement. “It could not happen without our partners at the other national labs and in publishing. We’re grateful to be working in concert on this -- it’s never been done before.”

A list of all 31 participating institutions is available here.

Debacle over review reveals racism in academy (opinion)

When medievalist Mary Rambaran-Olm wrote about having her book review “torpedoed” for not being “more generous” to the book’s authors, no one could have expected that this would send shock waves across the academic community in what became an online maelstrom revealing the extent of white academic gatekeeping, ally performativity and blatant racism. For those of us who work on decentering whiteness in premodern fields such as classics, medieval/early modern studies, archaeology and in or on the Global South, this latest attack targeting a scholar of color exposed what many of us have been trying to draw attention to for years—that racism is deep and pernicious in the so-called liberal and woke academy. Rambaran-Olm was commissioned to review The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe ( HarperCollins ) for the Los Angeles Review of Books because of her expertise in early English medieval literature and history, and because she is one of the leading scholars challenging the

Consdierations for Another Uncertain Semester

Blog:  Just Visiting There are going to be a lot of sick people on college campuses in the fall. This is a pretty easy prediction because there are always a lot of sick people on college campuses given the very nature of the activities that happen on college campuses. I know I am not the only instructor to look out over a classroom and see lots of empty seats as students are felled by one virus or another.  I remember a particularly bad bout of mono that caught five students out of twenty in a single class and would’ve resulted in a passel of incompletes if I gave incompletes. (More on this in a moment.) While indications are that the coronavirus vaccines are holding up well against the Delta variant in preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even vaccinated people are getting sick. It is beyond frustrating that a virus that could’ve been isolated and marginalized continues to thrive, but for now, as measured by the worst outcomes, we are collectively in a di
