Norman Finkelstein is back to weigh in on billionaire Bill Ackman's attack on academic freedom and how it backfired colossally with accusations that his own wife committed worse plagiarism than Claudine Gay, whom he fought to oust from Harvard because she didn't crack down hard enough on anti-Zionist speech. The conversation broadens out into a two hour discourse on the history of academic freedom, whether "from the river to the sea" is a productive slogan, and more.

The Bay Area's two water temples can be an unexpected finding if you stumble upon one. Stately, round, and featuring tall stone columns, the open-air structures look like they've been plucked right from ancient Rome. Bay Curious listener Will Hoffknecht wanted to know why these monuments exist and look the way they do. KQED’s Katherine Monahan traces their story back to the European colonization of San Francisco, and finds discontent about what they symbolize around our state.
*This episode has been updated to include that the SFPUC is constructing an interpretive center at the Sunol Water temple and is working with the Muwekma Ohlone Nation to include an exhibit about their history.

In recent years, anonymity has rocked the political and social landscape. There are countless examples: An anonymous whistleblower was at the heart of President Trump’s first impeachment, an anonymous group of hackers compromised more than 77 million Sony accounts, and best-selling author Elena Ferrante resolutely continued to hide her real name and identity. In his book Anonymous: The Performance of Hidden Identities (University of Chicago Press, 2023), Thomas DeGloma investigates contemporary and historical cases to build a sociological theory that accounts for the many faces of anonymity.
Thomas DeGloma is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
