«Liberal feminism envisions that equality of the sexes can be achieved by equal participation in global capitalism. This bypasses any critique of the structures inherent to a global free market system and its effects on women. A critical, or more radical, approach means interrogating patriarchy and the global institutions that sustain it. The liberal vision seeks only to make patriarchy more equitable by branding it as ‘choice’. This is not so much feminism as it is a westernised corporate strategy. ‘Choice’ is only relevant if you are a wealthy and powerful enough consumer; this is rarely applicable to marginalised women.

The proliferation of technology has resulted in the flourishing of pornographic culture and the male entitlement and misogyny it breeds. Simultaneously, globalised consumer culture is at an all time high. In essence, sexist male entitlement has gone global.

From early liberal feminist campaigns such as the pro-pornography movement, to the recent global ‘SlutWalk’ campaign, there is a move to rebrand sexual objectification as feminist. Some liberal feminist scholars argue this is diversification or ‘sex positivity’. However, more critical feminists see this as an ill-fated partnership with the capitalist exploitation of women.

While liberal feminism is not a corporate movement per se, on a theoretical level it relies on the same problematic assumptions based upon conventional economics and classical liberalism.

On an analytical level, liberal feminism avoids structural or critical analysis of power. It often discusses power as an individual negotiation rather than a structural, contextual reality. While this may help some women to feel ‘empowered’ on an individual level, it only makes invisible the broader systemic forces that undergird oppression.

On a practical level, liberal feminism evades empirical data on the realities of women’s oppression under globalised capitalism. For instance, high levels of sexual violence and sex trafficking are largely dismissed by liberal feminism. Rather than these trends being interrogated as urgent symptoms of growing global male supremacy, they are increasingly replaced with discussions on ‘whorephobia’, or the need to support ‘underage sex work’.

Feminism is at a crossroad. It can either fight to liberate women from growing male entitlement and the institutions that underpin it, or it can work to make patriarchy more acceptable by selling it as our ‘choice’.»

Why does due diligence matter?

Due diligence in business is the effort or process of gathering and analyzing information about a company before making a decision or performing a transaction involving that company. Due to the fact that no two organizations or corporations are alike, it is critical to do due diligence in order to get any information connected to the company or its assets. 

Why is due diligence important to you?

You may believe that due diligence just serves one side, the buyer. However, it helps both parties, i.e., buyers and sellers.

Due diligence provides a buyer with all of the information they need to make a purchase and gives them peace of mind that they are making the proper decision. The data contains information about existing consumers, collaborations with other businesses, and any potential risks that the merging firm may face.

Due diligence, from the standpoint of a seller, assists the owner in learning more about their own firm, such as financial stability, and will also give information on why their market worth is low. Furthermore, it assists the owner in understanding their firm from the buyer’s point of view.

What does the due diligence report include? 

The due diligence report is divided into five major categories. 

Ø  Legal reviews: Due diligence assists in evaluating whether or not the company with whom we intend to form a partnership has any liabilities. And, depending on the size of the company, the due diligence report clarifies whether or not there is any potential danger.

Ø  Environmental Considerations: In the case of some companies, there may be some environmental risks associated with the business. In this sort of scenario, due diligence examines all of the risks and explains how they may influence the firm in the present or in the future.

Ø  Financial information: The majority of firms concentrated on financial due diligence, reviewing and verifying all financial data. They check whether all of the data given is up-to-date and accurate or not.

 Ø  Business Sustainability: Cash flow management and long-term business sustainability are two critical components of due diligence. Based on these components and sales data from previous years, buyers will be able to decide if the investment is profitable.

Ø  IT Capabilities: Identifying the company’s existing security threats and other IT-related issues fall under this area. 

Due diligence will always be a vital aspect of running a business, especially whether forming a partnership or purchasing a firm. So, whether you are a buyer or a seller, due diligence is essential for both sides.

What Professional Development Assistance Do You Wish You Had?

This is a loaded question, and I’m interested in what answers it garners.

This is a loaded question, and I’m interested in what answers it garners.

I have 14 years of experience in both teaching in and administrative support in departments and programs in languages, literature, and the humanities. Since beginning my PhD, and even going back further to beginning my honors college education, I have tried to take up any opportunity I could to learn more about developing my skills in teaching, research, and publishing.

I’ve been fortunate to learn from presenting at and organizing conferences. (And I’ve enjoyed getting to share some of that advice here, such as on how to find conventions, how to submit to the call for papers, how to give the presentation, even how to pack and travel for the conference.)

And I’m continuing to improve upon syllabi for past and upcoming courses.

I also have valued the experiences I have had to foster more inclusive learning and working environments, including volunteering as a test proxy and notetaker for my university’s office for students with disabilities and completing a safe spaces program to support LGBTQ+ students and coworkers.

But part of that professional development in languages, literature, and the humanities depends on being aware of gaps in my expertise.

It is impossible for me to list every last bit of professional development that is necessary, especially as what is necessary varies: what skills and experiences you already bring to your scholarship, what your personal and professional goals are, what responsibilities are included in your job (and how that varies by discipline, location, and employer expectations), and what we continue to learn that alters how we prioritize the numerous skill-building endeavors we can take on.

Listing everything is impossible. We are fortunate there are so many other people out there who are willing to share how they improve at what needs to be done as a scholar. (This recently shared post on how to organize a literary review is very helpful.) And as I just said, what I prioritized in the past for my professional development is not the same as what I prioritize now, not only because, I hope, I have gotten enough of a handle on some of those skills to put them on the back-burner as I focus on other priorities, but also because, as time goes on, we recognize priorities we should have re-organized to better confront systematic barriers in education and society at large, many I overlooked until confronted by realities I was ignoring.

Therefore, I have two goals for this post.

First, I want to list three areas of professional development that I wish I had pursued earlier.

And second, I want to open this post to any feedback about what professional development you wish you had.

If you are advanced in your career, maybe it’s something you wish you had had in your undergraduate or graduate studies. If you are continuing your education, maybe it’s something you wish was offered right now. Or it could be something offered right now (by your department or program, or through HR at your institution, or available through an academic organization) that you have yet to pursue, or something flat-out missing at your institution.

I’m interested in any feedback received to get a sense of what people teaching, researching, and learning in languages, literature, and the humanities are seeking for their ongoing development in this profession.

Accessibility in Research, Learning, and Teaching

I have worked with colleagues with disabilities, and I have taught students with disabilities. But much of what I have learned as best practices to continue to improve accessibility in my classes has been by taking my own initiative. I cannot remember ever receiving outreach by a department or supervisor about improving upon accessibility in course content or workplace items, such as making texts OCR, adding subtitles to videos, adding alt-text to images, or making sure to describe aloud what appears in any slides I include in a PowerPoint presentation. Outside of my undergraduate experience, where I volunteer for my university’s office for students with disabilities, I cannot remember significant outreach or coordination by the colleges where I have learned, taught, and worked at and their own offices for accessibility and students with disabilities.

Navigating Regional Differences between Institutions

What goes into teaching in one part of the United States differs from another part of the United States, or elsewhere in the world. I know that sounds obvious, but it’s a point I haven’t appreciated enough when navigating differences between teaching in the South Florida, Long Island, New York City, and Western New York communities. Laws protecting union organizing and labor rights vary considerably.

Regions also have different rules regarding minimum requirements for teaching, not just at the college level but should graduate students want to teach K-12 classes while completing their degrees.

(Speaking of which, preparing graduate students for potential adjunct instruction while they are completing their PhDs would also be super: I had to learn the hard way that, upon entering my PhD program without a master’s degree, I had compromised my ability to seek additional teaching opportunities. As I did not have a master’s, I could not be hired for some teaching positions in writing and literature, and unlike other graduate departments, mine did not reward a master’s degree upon completion of the pre-dissertation qualifying exams.)

Furthermore, each region has its own expectations for its teachers, especially when addressing the demographics of its students in terms of their backgrounds, experiences, and post-course goals, such as finishing their degree, transitioning from an associate’s to a bachelor’s degree, and pursuing their personal and professional goals in further education and the workforce.

Teaching as Adjunct and Contingent Faculty

And to wrap this up by circling back to adjunct instruction, I wish during my grad student years that I had pursued more opportunities to attend university legislative meetings and adjunct/contingent faculty support group meetings, as well as engage more with adjunct and contingent faculty, to better understand the substantial changes when leaving graduate student teaching, graduating, and working in adjunct teaching. I think that earlier engagement would have lessened the shock of transitioning into adjunct teaching, including how best to protect time for myself, my office hours, my grading, my research, and my students and my service commitments. All of that also would benefit how much I think I can tackle in a class, in terms of the assignments offered, the time students need to commit to the assignments in class and for homework and that I need to commit to grading and follow-up with students, and designing a class that focuses on a core set of skills without making the course bloated with too much content and too many goals to address.
