A professor at a Dutch university is backing up nutty Rutgers Women’s and Gender Studies/Africana Studies Professor Brittney Cooper in claiming that time — yes, time — is racist.
Back in 2019, Cooper said (among other things) in an interview that white people believe time is linear, but for blacks it “doesn’t exactly work that way” due to past racial trauma and a present “filled with racial animus.”
Zakia Essanhaji (pictured), a professor of “organizational ethnography” at Holland’s Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, discusses in her recent paper titled “Academic time theft: stealing time, producing racialized inclusion in Dutch academia” how “universities reproduce ethnic-racial inequality through the temporal organization of academic life.”
“Drawing on critical race theory and decolonial scholarship on chronopolitics and white time,” the paper’s “purpose” reads, “it introduces the concept of academic time theft to theorize how universities extract, fragment and defer the time of academics of colour through racialized institutional processes.”

According to her faculty page, Essanhaji’s research “combines critical race, feminist and decolonial perspectives” regarding “diversity politics, the dynamics of whiteness, and institutional change within academic contexts, with a focus on the intersections of ethnic-racial and gender inequalities.”
