Harry Brod

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harry Brod is a professor of Sociology at Northern Iowa University. He holds a PhD in Philosophy, 1981, from the University of California, San Diego.[1]

Kenyon College

Brod was hired as interim director of the new Women’s and Gender Studies Department at Kenyon College in the early 1990s. Despite being assured during the hiring process that his gender was not an issue, the appointment of a man was very controversial.[2]

As a man of the left, I’ve been attacked from the right. Here, also, I’ve been attacked from the left, as a male. Completely isolated, no structure, no connection. Under fire. Incredible.[3]
