By “exile,” I’m referring not to a physical departure, but to the intellectual marginalization many of us experience. It’s a label that marks us as “unwelcome” and our scholarship as “controversial.” In using the word exile, I’m thinking of a specific experience: that of academics whose research and presence politicians would prefer to erase.
