'White Genocide' prof takes role as 'Visiting Scholar' at NYU
January 9, 2018

Less than two weeks after resigning from Drexel University, the infamous “white genocide” professor has landed a gig as a “visiting scholar” at New York University.

In a New Year’s Day Facebook post, George Ciccariello-Maher announced that he had officially started as a Visiting Scholar at the NYU Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics, a social justice-oriented network of 60 universities and cultural centers that “offers an anti-colonial model for engagement between ‘north’ and ‘south’ by promoting multi-sited, multilingual collaborations and acknowledging everyone as a potential producer of art and knowledge.”

"Visiting scholar appointments are made by faculty involved with the Institute, and typically do not entail classroom or other academic duties."

Ciccariello-Maher drew national criticism on Christmas Eve of 2016 for tweeting that “All I Want for Christmas is White Genocide,” and has continued to court controversy in other tweets throughout 2017, culminating with his resignation on December 28.
