Intimidation

Domain: Theory

DOUGLAS L. ROBERTSON (Florida International University)

Abstract: This presentation is a conceptual exploration of intimation. The context comprises current faculty conditions in Florida’s public universities amidst political interference. In an emergency investigation, the American Association of University Professors reported: “What is unfolding in Florida is horrifying. It should serve as a cautionary tale to all in higher education…” (AAUP, 2023). The discussion is grounded in experience, research, and theory. The guiding question is, how does intimidation shape faculty behavior? Concepts discussed include: academic freedom, scholarly identity, authenticity, identity and stereotype threat, imagined and real contingencies, concealing and disclosing stigmatized identities, double-binding rules (policy), and interlocking behavioral contingencies becoming metacontingencies. This conceptual exploration joins other first responders’ scholarly work on the Florida emergency (e.g., Adams, 2024; Barsky, Groton, & Spadola, 2023; Batker & Turpin, 2023; Carr & Yousfi, 2024; Goodman, 2024; Green, 2023; Groton, Barsky, & Spadola, 2023; Gupton & O’Sullivan, 2024; Guy & Moore, 2023; Hutchens & Miller, 2023; Hampson, 2023; Hutchens & Miller, 2023; Kamola, 2024; Majewska & Feeder, 2022; Moody, 2024; Rainwater, 2024; Ruth & Schrecker, 2024; Roberts, 2024; Russell-Brown, 2023, 2024; Schoorman, 2024; Schoorman & Gatens, 2023, 2024; Taylor & Somers, 2021; Thornhill, 2023; Topalidis & Austin, 2023; Watson, 2023; Zelnick & Goodkind, 2023).
