J. Lorand Matory grew up in Washington, D.C. and attended Harvard College. He received his Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Chicago in 1991. He is Professor of Anthropology and of African and African American Studies at Harvard. Matory came to public attention in a series of controversies at Harvard in the course of which some of Matory's critics accused him of hold views that verged on anti-Semitic, while others assessed him as "simply a crackpot." [1]
In the summer of 2005 Matory was one of the leaders of a group calling for a faculty vote of no-confidence in University President Larry Summers. [2] [3]
In the fall semester of 2007, Matory led a campaign to have the Harvard faculty pass an anti-Israel resolution in the guise of a statement supporting freedom of speech. The Harvard Crimson called the Matory resolution a "ploy" to "push an agenda." [4] [5] [6]
During the controversies, Matory was repeatedly caught making false allegations against Harvard President Larry Summers and other Jewish individuals. [7] [8] [9]
