Nadar asserts that I started writing this response to the question of systemic racism within the Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion (JFSR) around the same time that I made a decision to lay a formal complaint of academic harassment and bullying against a senior white male professor who has consistently directed several microaggressions toward my scholarly authority since I joined the institution in 2016. These microaggressions range from asking me to just be the "face of a conference" to harassing me to such an extent that I eventually withdrew my keynote lecture from the conference. When I objected, he flexed his hegemonic disciplinary muscle through repeated email correspondence, and when I candidly called upon him to own up to his prejudice, he resorted to gaslighting and pretended that he did not understand where my questions were coming from. He cloaked his prejudice in terms of acting in the best interests of the student.
