Akademik Veri Yönetim Sistemi
(Un)Silencing Academia in Times of Epistemic Conflicts Navigating Online Violence, Hande Eslen-Ziya & Alberta Giorgi, Editör, Routledge, London/New York , New York, ss.45-55, 2026
In today’s academic landscape, scholars are increasingly dependent
on digital platforms to sustain their careers, enhance visibility, and meet
institutional demands for public engagement. While the digitalization of
academic work offers significant opportunities for dissemination and
collaboration, it also generates new forms of precarity and exposure. Higher Education’s 2020 study has shown that digital
harassment targeting those who critique dominant structures, such as white,
middle-class, or male supremacy, has become routine, revealing the gendered,
racialized, and classed dimensions of this phenomenon. In this chapter, we aim
to employ an intersectional approach to understand and explore online academic
harassment, drawing on a critical literature review of research concerning
online academic harassment within precarious and highly digitalized academia.
Our examination posits that online academic harassment is not simply
interpersonal but is also a socio-technical mechanism of governance that exploits
digital affordances and neoliberal academic logic to enforce power hierarchies
and marginalize dissenting or vulnerable voices.
