This new article provides evidence that Miles Hewstone was engaging in sexual harassment and assault at Oxford and other universities for over 30 years. More women have bravely come forward to describe his behavior and this is just the tip of the iceberg since I know several other women Miles mistreated How does someone get away with this for 30 years? This article reveals the institutional failures that allowed him to maintain positions of power and prestige: People in power knew and did nothing. Oxford let him retire and maintain his prestigious appointments. EASP did not take action against Miles (after Oxford refused to cooperate). This is why dozens of women were harassed and many were forced out of the field. I think our leaders, universities, and societies need to take greater action. Even if people like Miles switch universities, they are still able to retaliate against victims as a reviewer, editor, letter writer, etc, because they maintain power through our professional organizations. Being a member of a professional society is a privilege, not a right. If a member is engaging in sexual harassment or assault, they have no business attending these meetings or holding positions of power. If you are a member of an academic society and want to see change, please ask them to take action. If someone is found guilty by a university investigation or they have credible eyewitness reports of harassment, then there need to be actual consequences. thetimes.com/uk/education/ar…
