<span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">Institutions of higher learning are environments where new ideas, insights, and discoveries are cultivated. Here is where unexplored territory provides the space for curiosity
to grow, for rigorous enquiry to nurture understanding, for innovation to reach new heights. It’s where professors and students conduct extensive research in the constant pursuit of knowledge, truth, and justice. Unfortunately, it’s also where targeted attacks
occur by those who feel threatened by this important work and the impact it has on society. <br>
<br>
Why is this happening and what can we do about it? The University of Waterloo aims to answer these questions in a new speaker series entitled “Antagonism and Intimidation in Academia” (Fall 2023 – Winter 2024) that will conclude with an international conference.
These events are organized jointly by the Faculty of Arts and the Office of Research.

<br>
The speaker series will run from October 2023 to March 2024, and involves talks by members of the University of Waterloo academic community on the broad subject of antagonistic and intimidating responses to academic research and pedagogy. Scholars in many fields
have experienced hostile responses to their work, such as those whose emphasis is on social justice scholarship that focuses on discrimination based on gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and religion; science and technology research; health and vaccine research;
and environment, sustainability, and climate change research. Aggressors aim to silence the individual researcher and attack those advocating certain scholarly ideas through various hostile actions, including cyberbullying, disruption of public presentations,
personal threats, and in the worst-case scenario, physical violence.</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> </span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

and Race in the Academy</span></strong>, where we will explore several important topics such as responding to silence arising from gendered harassment and workplace threats of violence; unpacking the public silencing of expertise when Black women engage in
anti-racist work; countering the view that teaching about structural inequalities and social injustices is “ideological,” rather than empirically-based; and emphasizing the merits of inclusivity in the classroom and creating learning environments of respect
even where differences prevail. There will be time for audience members to engage in a question-and-answer period following the panel presentations. A reception will follow. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
