Academic marginalization within a field itself can constitute a form of political violence

Evidence

I wanted to come to this conference because I am excited about Cultural Studies. I am excited about it as a critical intervention, as a critical political intervention. And when I felt that I was being marginalized and silenced, I felt that as terror. I felt that as terror about the danger of Cultural Studies appropriating issues of race, gender, and sexual practice, and then continuing to hurt and wound in that politics of domination. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 281
