The Political Hat

     The Barnard Center for Research on Women, an openly Feminist center of Barnard College, has formally initiated a Social Justice Institute to strengthen their “commitment to scholar-feminist praxis by building a series of collaborative projects with activists, activist-scholars, and community-based organizations and coalitions in New York City and beyond”.

     The Barnard Center for Research on Women has, especially this century, already built up a lengthy CV of collaborating to push hard Left insanity and activism, utilizing its status as a non-prophet educational institution. Amongst some of the past hard Left organizing:

• A ‘convening with 21 social justice organizations on the importance of coalitional and multi-issue organizing strategies and the value of re-centering sexuality in progressive organizing”;
• Publishing a “New Queer Agenda“;
• Publishing “Desiring Change, a New Feminist Solutions report“;
• Convened a “Queer Survival Economics” to “discuss overlooked and often invisible economic justice issues at the intersection of class, race, gender, immigration, non-traditional families, sexuality and the law”;
• Hosted “intergenerational convenings with activists who are LGBTQ and/or women”;
• Demand the abolition of all prisons;
• Articulating “an organizing model for reproductive justice at the intersections of racial and economic justice; documentation of participating organizations’ best practices; and amplification of the work of women and LGBTQ people of color organizations in broader movements for systemic change”;
• Published “Reproductive Justice in Action, a New Feminist Solutions report“; and
• Sponsored the conference “Creating Systemic Change at the Intersection of Economic and Reproductive Justice“.

     The inaugural “Social Justice Institute Activists-in-Residence” aims to take seriously the “critiques of the academic and non-profit industrial complexes that have emerged”. This is an open admission that the Left’s fountainhead of insanity derives from an academic-nonprofit axis of evil. The five “fellows” (oh, the irony of such a Patriarchical term being used “unironically” by Social Justice Warriors…) include:

Reina Gossett, Activist-in-Residence

“As an Activist-in-Residence, Gossett will continue her work producing videos and other activist-educational resources, as well as organizing and hosting a collaborative art exhibit featuring work on disability justice, prison abolition, and queer and trans liberation in collaboration with Sins Invalid, a disability justice organization that centers the work of queer and trans artists of color, and the Trans Life and Liberation Art Series, which amplifies the struggles and resiliency of trans femmes of color.”

     That checks off quite a few identity groups. What deal for Barnard…
