"Sharing our stories of complaint matters even when, or perhaps because, we have shared these stories many times before … The message is hopeful and hard. Yes: there is still so much work to do. Yes: we have to keep saying it because they keep doing it. Yes: the need to repeat ourselves can be tiring, frustrating. That is why we need to say it more and for more to say it." — Sara Ahmed, from the afterword "As the editors hope and intend, this volume functions as a complaint collective. In their specificity and range, the essays cast light on many corners of academe, elucidating patterns of harassment and the blocking of efforts to prevent or redress harm. Although the essays document diabolically successful campaigns to isolate women academics and demonstrate the fragile bonds that hold whistleblowers together, the volume also provides the context necessary to understand the pervasiveness and nuances of harassment, as well as the processes that leave those who complain open to doubt and discrediting." — Leigh Gilmore, author of The #MeToo Effect: What Happens When We Believe Women

The Promise of Happiness

This provocative cultural critique of the imperative to be happy draws on the work of feminist, black, and queer critics showing how happiness is used to justify social oppression.
