- Impolite Hostilities and Vague Sympathies: Academia as a Site of Cyclical Abuse Cooke, Nicole A. College Faculty Minority Group Teachers Library Education Psychological Patterns Bullying Aggression Coping In this autoethnographic article I reflect on my experiences as a now-tenured faculty member of color, which have been punctuated by incivility, bullying, stress, and abuse. As part of reconciling several acute events, I came to a distinct realization of what I had been going through; I was able to name it, and I was able to articulate the strategies I had been using to cope and thrive. This reflective piece is not meant to minimize the experiences of non-minority faculty, but it is absolutely meant to highlight and emphasize the specific challenges of being faculty member of color in library and information science, and in the academy writ large.
