“…The question by the faculty member did not take the authors aback: as anthropologists teaching about issues of inequality and inequity in the context of education, we have often encountered similar questions, from our colleagues as well as our students. In Wang's “anthropology of the university” course, students regularly write discussion questions like “given that we now know the neoliberal nature of a college, what can we do to combat the reproduction of privilege and marginalization of minoritized students?” (also see Wang, 2022). While LaDousa has published about the processes of neoliberalization through the vantage points of experiential education, campus funding initiatives, and faculty life (LaDousa, 2013, 2018, 2019; Lee & LaDousa, 2015), some of their colleagues half‐jokingly see them as a scholar who “only thinks” and “does not act.” Elsewhere on our campus, social justice‐oriented colleagues put together various groups to discuss how “to build community partnership,” to “decolonize pedagogy,” and, sometimes, to “build an anti‐racist institution.” These groups receive support for these conversations from various offices/centers at the College.…”
