This month’s Higher Education newsletter looks at how unified collectives can advance equity—gender, economic, racial, and health equity—throughout academia. Our first piece, by Amulya Mandava, graduate student union leader and whistle-blower on entrenched sexual harrassment at Harvard University, examines the history of sex-based discrimination in academia—calling for institutional reform and collective recourse. Second, we bring you a series produced with Bargaining for the Common Good on the broad coalitions needed to counteract 21st-century capitalism, including educational unions. Next, we look at how the pandemic pushed academia to redesign its approach to mental health—which, as Mandava’s piece argues, still has a long way to go before equitably meeting student needs. Finally, join the conversation through our new call for pitches on the topic of “Owning Our Economy,” which includes securing student and worker ownership of our educational institutions.
