	Solidarity with David Graeber
		David Graeber, Associate Professor in the Anthropology Department at Yale University, was recently denied renewal of his contract for unexplained reasons.
		Graeber was recently invited to be a keynote speaker at the 50th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee meeting of the Association of Social Anthropologists in the United Kingdom and also to deliver the prestigious Malinowski Lecture at the London School of Economics.
		Recognizing David Graeber's significant contributions to the Yale community and to the wider scholarly community, we strongly urge Yale University and the Yale University Department of Anthropology to take all steps necessary to ensure that David Graeber continues to remain a member of the faculty of the Yale Department of Anthropology.

	In Support of David Graeber \| Anarchist news dot org
		When one brilliant graduate student organizer was almost kicked out for clearly fabricated reasons, David Graeber was the only member of her committee with the courage to openly stand up for her at that committee meeting, and then later at a faculty meeting.
		David Graeber was one of the spokespeople for the Anti Capitalist Convergence during the World Economic Forum protests in New York.
		To support David Graeber is to say that we have had enough of this nation-wide persecution of leftist professors, accused of 'falsifying' their "Native American identity", of supporting anti-Semitism, or of being anarchists.

	David Graeber appeals decision \| Anarchist news dot org
		Sociocultural anthropology professor David Graeber, a self-described anarchist whose contract renewal was denied by the University last spring, has formally appealed the decision amid suspicion the denial was based on his political views.
		Graeber was an assistant professor for six years before the Anthropology Department's senior faculty voted not to extend his contract for an additional two years.
		Graeber said the decision, which was not a tenure review, was never fully explained to him and he is appealing to get a fresh evaluation.

	David Graeber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Graeber has a history of social and political activism, including his role in protests against the World Economic Forum in New York City (2002) and membership in the radical labor union Industrial Workers of the World.
		Graeber has suggested that his support of GESO, Yale's graduate student union, may have played a role in Yale's decision.
		Detractors argued that Graeber's dismissal was in keeping with Yale's policy of granting tenure to few junior faculty and Yale has given no formal explanation for its actions.

	The Yale Herald - Sep 16, 2005 - Graeber decision injures academic freedom
		Graeber is an outspoken anarchist—one of very few in the academy today—who has been a spokesperson in various mobilizations against neoliberal economic imperialism.
		Graeber described these colleagues in a Fri., May 13 interview in Counterpunch as "trying to terrorize [the student] into leaving the program." Graeber was the only Anthropology department faculty member to openly defend the student, who organizes for the Graduate Employees and Students Organization (GESO).
		The contract renewal Graeber sought is a formality that Yale grants to its faculty almost without exception, and certainly to those with Graeber's outstanding scholarly and teaching qualifications.

		David Graeber, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Yale University, and the author of Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value: The False Coin of Our Own Dreams and Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology, among many other scholarly publications.
		However, it was not Graeber's scholarship that was ever in question; rather it was his political philosophies that may have played a heavy hand in the administration's unwarranted decision.
		David Graeber: Well, it's impossible to say anything for certain because no official reasons were given for the decision and I'm not allowed to know what was said in the senior faculty meeting where my case was discussed.

		The decision not to renew David Graeber’s contract after the end of the 2005-6 academic year was made in a private meeting of 12 senior faculty members who are required to keep the proceedings confidential.
		Graeber believed that the student was being treated unfairly because of her involvement with the Graduate Employees and Students Organization, a graduate student union that is not recognized by the university and has been locked in a longstanding battle with Yale administrators.
		Graeber is, by normal societal standards, an absolute wacko.people like him are the reason the academy no longer commands the same respect it once did in western society.

		Within the Graeber discussion, Savage mind makes the interesting argument that for a long period of time their was a unofficial, yet known deal between the government and the members of academia.
		They further add that Graeber felt he had the freedom to act as he wished because he was not in New Haven (where he was a professor).

		Not so much, it should be noted, for his ideology: as Graeber explains in his Counterpunch interview, although there was some opposition to his work, the real tipping point was his involvement with campus politics.
		Graeber may well find work elsewhere, or Yale may even re-extend his contract, but the word is out: watch what you say and, more importantly, what you do.
		Today’s Times has a lame article on Graeber that sets him up as a whining loser: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/28/nyregion/28anarchist.html This is classic NYTimes coverage where on balance the problems of Graeber’s politics are shown to be less significant than the overall difficulties in receiving tenure at Yale.

		Either way you look at it, David is an anthropological scholar, an anarachist, and an all around witty guy with a wry sense of humor one wouldn’t expect from someone so feared by the “ruling class”.
		David spent some time in Madagascar and he has a book coming out about it but there were two things he had to say that I feel sure everyone will want to know.

	Something About Yale's David R. Graeber \| Z
		In a recent interview with the embattled---and on the verge of becoming a former---Yale University Assistant Professor of Anthrolopogy David Graeber, Joshua Frank reported that in early May, "Prof.
		Graeber was informed that his teaching contract at Yale would not be extended." But, Frank continued, "it was not Graeber's scholarship that was ever in question; rather it was his political philosophies that may have played a heavy hand in the administration's unwarranted decision."
		David is noting the conflict between (a) the content of Graeber's incredibly obscene (really somewhat sick) note to Edward S. Herman (and like I said I trust the sources here) and (b)DG's claims to be in no way outrageous and concerned at the degenerating political climate of the academy.

	Interactivist Info Exchange \| Jason Adams, "David Graeber's Anarchist Anthropology" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		So this is why Graeber`s book is so important at this particular moment, an unparalleled time in which anarchism has suddenly attained a status within academia comparable to that of Marxism several generations earlier.
		Graeber grasps at this possibility when he acknowledges the strangeness that 'exotic societies' are deemed the exclusive subject of anthropology, while our own societies are the subject of the other remaining human sciences, but he does not continue with this thread to its possible liberatory conclusion.
		Such an anarchist approach to interdisciplinarity would not be one based on the universalizing illusion of consensus, but one that would accept the theory of exodus as its primary structure, one in which BOTH voluntary association and dissociation would be accepted and promoted alike.

		Which brings me to another thing—in the interview David argues his problems are part of a wider trend in what he calls the shift from the ‘neoliberal university’ to the ‘imperial university’.
		David’s stand is not brave in the way that the Barcelona commune was brave—academics overinflate their importance in the greater scheme of things (not David, he’s fully aware that this is not like fighting Fascists) —but for an academic in today’s American climate he certainly is as are many of the graduate students supporting him.
		David is to be commended for supporting a student who was being discriminated against for political reasons.

		David Graeber reexamines a century of anthropological thought about value and exchange, in large measure to find a way out of quandaries in current social theory, which have become critical at the present moment of ideological collapse in the face of Neoliberalism.
		Rooted in an engaged, dynamic realism, Graeber argues that projects of cultural comparison are in a sense necessarily revolutionary projects: He attempts to synthesize the best insights of Karl Marx and Marcel Mauss, arguing that these figures represent two extreme, but ultimately complementary, possibilities in the shape such a project might take.
		Graeber breathes new life into the classic anthropological texts on exchange, value, and economy.

		He did answer the questions very generally and seemed to be more keen to have a general discussion and hang out with people, which is fair enough.
