A team of collaborators from UMD, including Professor Wright, have published a book chapter exploring UMD's past for lessons in recognizing and responding to gendered oppression. The chapter, co-authored with Christina Gallup, Anne Hinderliter, Njoki M. Kamau, Arshia Khan, and Lu Smith, discusses how the structure of the university promotes inequities while masking them, using a specific example to illustrate.
“Disrupting the Past as Prologue: Recognizing and Responding to Strategies and Tactics of Gendered Oppression” can be found in print and online in Broken Record: Gendered Abuse in Academia, edited by Mary K. Holland et al., State University of New York Press, 2025.
