Intello-Bullying

Disparate, Oct 14, 2008

Disparate writes, "Academic contexts are full of cases of intello-bullying. Classrooms, conferences, outings... Put a group of academics in a room and unless there's a strong sense of community (Turner would say 'communitas'), intello-bullying is likely to occur." I'm sure I've been accused of it, despite my best intentions, and I would certainly accuse others of it. Where is the line, I wonder, between intellectual bullying and refusing to be swayed by poor (or inarticulate) reasoning? I think I need to find out.
