Censored: Academic blocked from publishing ‘gender wars’ research
from The Christian Institute:
An academic studying the censorship of social scientists at British universities because of their views on transgender issues has had her own research confiscated and been barred from publishing the findings by her university.
Dr Laura Favaro had been invited by City, University of London to conduct the first of its kind study which received funding from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and the British Academy.
The postdoctoral researcher has now brought an employment tribunal claim for harassment, victimisation and whistleblowing detriment against the university.
‘Culture of discrimination’
During the research, scholars told her that they experienced threats of violence, hostility from colleagues and feared that their careers would not survive the backlash if they spoke out against transgender ideology.
In an article published in the Times Higher Education Favaro said “a culture of discrimination, silencing and fear has taken hold across universities in England, and many countries beyond.”
Following it, she was told that the study had “become an institutionally sensitive issue” and that the University considered her data to be dangerous and is “frightened of making it public”.
