This dossier, edited by Tavia Nyong’o and Kyla Wazana Tompkins, considers the ongoing attack on higher education in general, and on women’s, gender, and sexuality studies in particular, in relation to the Epstein class and university funding models. With contributions from Emily Owens and Jennifer C. Nash, Grace Kyungwon Hong, Greta LaFleur, Gillian Harkins, and Rinaldo Walcott, the dossier rejects the notion that Jeffrey Epstein was an aberration and that universities were merely his mark. Alongside investigating questions about the university and its complicity and about what work our current vocabulary for Epstein does culturally, the dossier insists that other relations to knowledge remain possible.
