In "The Time to Fight Is Now”: When Asian American Women In
Academia Go Rogue" by Kieu Linh Caroline Valverde and Wei Ming Dariotis,
the authors describe the injustices and obstructions women face in academia. In
addition to the readings from the previous weeks where we learnt about the
corporate structure of the university, it is quite aggravating to watch as the
system continues to oppress our talented professors. Although, it is very
inspiring to see the steps that women in academia across the country, including
the Fight the Tower Movement, to fight back and bring awareness to the issue. I
feel as students there is more that we can do more to influence the issue.
Question: What
will it take for students to band together and take action to end the
injustices?
