All, As some of you may have come across this in the press, some degree of backstory on a colleague of mine may help. Mark is a superb colleague doing excellent and rigorous research and is a recipient of an NSF CAREER award among many other honors. Best, Ron
From: Mark Carey Sent: Sunday, March 13, 2016 10:29 AM To: Ronald Mitchell Subject: ENVS faculty member (me) under attack by right-wing media Hi Ron, My article, "Glaciers, Gender, and Science," appeared in the journal Progress in Human Geography a couple months ago (http://phg.sagepub.com/content/early/2016/01/08/0309132515623368.abstract). Last week, it was brought into national news by conservative media misrepresenting and mischaracterizing the research and its funding. Science magazine posted an interview with me on Friday titled "Author of 'feminist glaciology' study reflects on sudden appearance in culture wars," noting that I am the "latest target of conservative-leaning bloggers questioning federally funded research." Here is the link if you want more information: http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/03/qa-author-feminist-geology-study-refl ects-sudden-place Thank you. Best, Mark Carey University of Oregon Associate Professor of History and of Environmental Studies Associate Dean of the Robert D.
