Profile of political philosopher Nancy Rosenblum

Portrait by Robert Adam Mayer It started with a bully. “The noise bully,” Nancy Rosenblum calls him, a man who lived in her Cambridge loft building years ago and tormented the family next door with a rooftop air conditioner whose roar and vibrations shook their apartment day and night. They couldn’t sleep. They tried earplugs and insulation; they tried moving their bed to the back of the room. Finally they tried selling their place. They received no offers. Meanwhile, the noise bully refused to move the air conditioner, even after Rosenblum and other neighbors confronted him on behalf of the sleepless family, even after they got together and offered to help pay for the cost of relocating the AC unit to a quieter spot on the roof. Instead he hired engineers to certify that the sound and vibration were within legal limits and posted the paperwork in the hallway. “This was malice,” Rosenblum says. “It was an act of deliberate cruelty.” In part, he liked the attention. �

Klarman postdoc conducting radical critique of meritocracy

March 4, 2021 Charles Petersen, Klarman Postdoctoral Fellow in history in the College of Arts and Sciences, studies 20th-century American history to better understand the rise of social and economic inequality in recent decades. “How did we go from the relative economic equality of the 1950s, when the average CEO made 20 times as much as the average worker, to the extreme inequality of the present, where CEOs make more like 400 times the pay of the average worker?” Petersen said. “The big picture of my research is bringing the tools of a historian to bear on these questions that sociologists and economists have been asking for a while.”

Racism in America webinar to examine protest movements

February 9, 2021 Worldwide protests against police brutality, an armed attack on the Capitol, protests in Europe and the U.S. against COVID restrictions– 2020 and 2021 stand out as years when those on the left and the right turned to both peaceful and armed protests to change the directions  governments were headed.

After a series of far-fetched legal attempts to overturn the election, capped by a shocking assault on the Capitol, it appears the Trump period has ended. On the day of the Capitol attack, Trump addressed his supporters, claiming, “You’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong.… If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” Two days later, in the midst of a furious and widespread backlash, Trump was forced to walk back his belligerent attitude, giving an anodyne speech where he called for peace, asserting that “those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction…do not represent ou

Dissent in 2020 | Dissent Magazine

Editors ▪ December 30, 2020 Cover illustrations by John Michael Snowden and Molly Crabapple We wanted to share some of our favorite articles from Dissent in 2020. In our first print issue this year, Democracy and Barbarism, Jedediah Britton-Purdy wove together the crises that had roiled American society long before the coronavirus, both in an article on carbon democracy cowritten with Alyssa Battistoni and a searching discussion with Aziz Rana.
