I was appalled when I witnessed what happened to you on this list. After having read your Medium post, I am at a loss for words that you were simultaneously being sexually harrassed offline AND that you received so little support from MSU while all of that
was going on.<br>
<br>
Thank you for sharing so bravely. You should know that it does have an effect: I'm sure that I'm not the only early-career academic whose awareness and willingness to act and speak up in our future workplaces have been raised by your story.</div>

<div>Hello SIGCIS Colleagues,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>First, thank you for your many on- and off-list messages of congratulations and support for my book. I deeply appreciate them, especially in the context of what I'm about to share.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Those of you who were on the list last spring saw my work savaged by a man named Brian Dear. Even then, I received on- and off-list messages of support for my scholarship. But what happened publicly was only one piece of a terrible, terrible year. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is a fuller picture: <a href="https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedium.com%2F%40drjoy%2Fwhy-im-firing-michigan-state-sexual-harassment-online-harassment-and-utter-institutional-6663a6bde68e&data=02%7C01%7C%7C1743bc2b3ec14c16916608d655625147%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636790278084060970&sdata=obSHjBlvj3cB19T0BAZ4YfCU0k4kyebQt2udxAZxW6Q%3D&reserved=0" originalsrc="https://medium.com/@drjoy/why-im-firing-michigan-state-sexual-harassment-online-harassment-and-utter-institutional-6663a6bde68e" shash="XYRDuYW2rbHmcWP7pryDg30BbDA71SFhJzvW2qpS7Dw+Gu7P27Hs9wSD6tRQaxpNtQytTOSdcI6xpeveB4uyOYfyEANOb4qAAHI75FyCAzjxVR2ltiEhHlOR9o8md9D4EyqlP0TPmYBWVVV7RtNdtAtigIEFsOnRggqkd/4SFQo=">https://medium.com/@drjoy/why-im-firing-michigan-state-sexual-harassment-online-harassment-and-utter-institutional-6663a6bde68e</a><br>

<div>SIGCIS as an organization did the right thing, and for that, I'm grateful.<br>
