  • Sexism and Sexual Assault in Literary Communities Editors’ Statement
    Sexism and Sexual Assault in Literary Communities EDITORS’ STATEMENT Beginning in August of last year, the Alternative Literature (or Alt-Lit) communities in Brooklyn and the Bay Area were convulsed first by pro- vocative instances of sexist and misogynistic writing from prominent male figures and then, more alarmingly, by allegations of sexual assault from women writers in these communities. Amid a much broader public reckoning in the US with a culture of rampant harassment and assault extending from university campuses to the halls of the Senate, harrowing reports of serial sexual assault in late summer identified San Francisco writer Steven Trull (aka Janey Smith) and Brooklyn editor Stephen Tully Dierks as alleged perpetrators. At first these reports of assault circulated on the same blogs and social-media sites where the identity of Alt-Lit had coalesced as a movement of young, tech-savvy writers trading on the idioms and the mechanics of internet culture. The allegations against Smith were galvanized by the publication of his book We’ re Fucked, coauthored with Alt-Lit writer “peterbd, ” which in turn had issued from a docu- ment that Smith published a year earlier on the blog HTMLGiant, “Fuck List: A List of Writers I Want to Fuck (Or Get Fucked By), ” widely denounced for its misogynistic rhetoric. In August, a group of writers in the Bay Area published an anonymous letter that included Smith in a short list of assault perpetrators in the area’ s various writing communities, and soon after, the Toronto-based writer Sophia Katz published an account of her alleged assault at the hands of Dierks while she spent a weekend networking in Brooklyn’ s Alt-Lit scene.

  • Foundations for Success in the Minneapolis Public Schools
    Foundations for Success in the Minneapolis Public Schools: Report of the Strategic Support Teams of the Council of the Great City Schools Submitted to the Minneapolis Public Schools By the Council of the Great City Schools With support from The Broad Foundation December 2004 Foundations for Success in the Minneapolis Public Schools Acknowledgments The Council of the Great City Schools thanks the many individuals who contributed to this project. Their efforts and commitment were critical to our efforts to present the district with the best possible proposals. First, we thank Superintendent Thandiwe Peebles. It is not easy to ask one’s colleagues for the kind of review conducted by this project. It takes courage and openness. It also requires a commitment to the city’s children that is uncompromising. She has that in abundance. Second, we thank the Board of Education of the Minneapolis Public Schools for their leadership. Each board member was available to us as we conducted this critical review and remained open-minded and committed throughout the process. Third, we thank the Minneapolis Public Schools staff who provided all the time, documents, and data that the project needed in order to do its work. Their openness and enthusiasm were critical to our understanding of the challenges that Minneapolis faces. Fourth, the Council of the Great City Schools thanks the many groups, organizations, and associations with which we met. We apologize that we were unable to meet with everyone who we know had something valuable to say. Fifth, the Council thanks the school districts that contributed staff to this effort.
