According to the editors who solicited these essays, “Too often the insights of feminist theologians have been stuck in classrooms, disseminated only in specialized conferences, lost in obscure journals, or buried in libraries” (8). The volume is intended to bring Christian feminist theology to a non-academic readership.
IUP PROFESSOR ALISON DOWNIE PROFESSIONAL
A helpful list of contributors at the end of the volume provides specific summary information about each author’s professional position and personal religious affiliation. Most of the authors are Protestant and many are ordained in their churches. The editors’ introduction states, “As a group, we are reformers and revolutionaries, Catholic and Protestant, lay and clergy, queer and straight, single and married, parents and without children, white and of color” (9). We’ll see if Ingle’s male privilege prevails on Monday at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, which has nothing to do with Indiana University and isn’t in the state of Indiana.Including the editors, a dozen women speak in this collection of personal essays by ten contemporary Christian feminist theologians. The Academic Integrity Board’s ruling is currently set for March 19.
On March 9, Downie and Ingle had a hearing before the university’s Academic Integrity Board, in which Ingle disputed Downie’s attempt for a permanent suspension. It’s a real shame that Ingle didn’t know about the latest advances in sciences that says there are 76 genders, “even though there are probably more like millions.”Īlison Downie is the professor in the alleged incident: Regardless, he plans on someday becoming a professor. If the board rules against Ingle, he won’t graduate in May. It still seems like Ingle’s claim that there are only two genders, while in a CHRISTIANITY class, may result in him not graduating:įox News-Downie and Ingle had an AIB hearing Friday, with a ruling set for March 19. A lot of these instances go the same way, the student insists they are the innocent bystander, the teacher says the opposite, and when the truth comes out it’s somewhere in the middle. There’s no video of the said incident, but “disrespectful objection to the professor’s class discussion structure refusal to stop talking out of turn angry outbursts” isn’t the best look for Ingle. Downie attempted to silence me because I am not a woman.” “I objected to the use of the anecdotal accounts of one woman’s experience to begin a discussion in which they were considered reality. So, I decided it was permissible for me to enter the conversation, especially because I felt the conversation itself was completely inappropriate in its structure,” Ingle told Campus Reform. Thirty seconds or so passed and still no woman had spoken. “The floor was opened, and not a single woman spoke.
IUP PROFESSOR ALISON DOWNIE FULL
That’s what college is about, right? Starting a conversation, hearing others opinions and respecting them. The safe space is full of differing opinions, none of which are silenced, ever! Oh, no? I guess the guys in the class didn’t have the privilege to start off the conversation.Īfter some time had elapsed, Ingle stated he “took this opportunity to point out the official view of biologists who claim there are only two biological genders,” and refuted the “gender wage gap,” after which class resumed as normal. Quite ironic that only women were allowed to talk about male privilege. Barring men from speaking until the women in the class have had their chance to speak.” Following the video, Ingle wrote that the instructor “opened the floor to WOMEN ONLY. Add in IUPUFW and I have a migraine.Īccording to Ingle, the class was forced to watch a Ted-Talk on February 28 featuring Paula Stone, a transgender woman, who gave examples of “mansplaining,” “male privilege,” and systematic sexism. Indiana Unversity-Purdue University Indianapolis is yet another school name that gives me a headache.
Another reason to force Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) to rename themselves is they are a different school than IUPUI. So, we are starting this whole story off on a bad note.
