Abstract

ABSTRACTAccording to the American Association of University Professors and the Chronicle of Higher Education, instances of targeted faculty harassment are rising. I therefore begin this article by discussing how I ended up on the receiving end of a sweeping harassment campaign because of my critical scholarship on environmental and social issues. I then employ an intersectional ecofeminist lens to analyze articles written about me as well as the ensuing reader comments. Next, I explore how academic institutions, professional associations, academic publishers, and personal relationships can support, at the local and the “cyber” level, academics who are most vulnerable to these kinds of retaliation in the deeply vitriolic sociopolitical contexts of cyberspace. I conclude by teasing out the implications of this incident for critical researchers in environmental education and beyond.
