6/ In his email, sent me from his institutional email to my professional email as SAGE manager, he said he wanted to implement sexual harassment reforms that I discussed in my article. He says my piece was "terrific" & that he wants to review policies & procedures in his org.pic.twitter.com/kqtrJBcB3T
7/ Harassers often set themselves up as advocates of equity. While people can atone, damage must 1st be addressed in a way that honours the needs of survivors. Prof Speed has not publicly addressed this & thus cannot be trusted in a position of authority over women or postdocs
8/ I have taken private steps asking key organisations to respond & take clear measures of accountability to lead change. I hope that other organisations linked to Prof Speed, especially those leading equity & diversity programs, take a public stance against harassment & inequity
9/ So far, key leaders in science are being silent. We see your inaction. Please speak up. To be serious about anti-harassment & anti-discrimination means always taking action, whenever injustice happens, and not giving special protection to mates & elite figures.
10/ On a personal note, my entire day off has been wasted dealing with the aftermath of this, as is the case with many other courageous women colleagues working behind the scenes to push action & change. It shouldn't be up to us, women & survivors of harassment, to make progress
11/ Finally, men in science & academia SPEAK UP. Can't call yourself an "ally" or a "good guy" or a "champion of change" if you only get up for accolade & speeches. It's not enough to NOT harass - low bar for collegiality. Use your male privilege to ensure this pattern ends now.
@atse_au Please see this thread on Prof Speed. Thought you might like to know as co-sponsor of SAGE. I've already contacted the Academy.https://twitter.com/OtherSociology/status/954193517332520960 …
