Don’t do the job. Do the work. The morning after the surprise of Donald Trump’s 2016 election, feeling unmoored and distressed, I put on my shoes to go for what I thought would be my usual three and a half– to four-mile run.

As we absorb the results of the election, I find myself reflecting on a word that consistently echoes in the back of my mind: exile. By “exile,” I’m referring not to a physical departure, but to the intellectual marginalization many of us experience. It’s a label that marks us as “unwelcome” and our scholarship as “controversial.” In using the word exile, I’m thinking of a specific experience: that of academics whose research and presence politicians would prefer to erase.
