Jyhene met with me to discuss the French government’s surveillance of university academics, the threat to academic autonomy, and the accusation of anyone teaching or researching racism, colonialism or Islamophobia of committing ‘Islamo-leftism’ as well as Islamophobia in French politics and everyday life. Inspired by her article for Arena Online, BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING FRENCH ACADEMIA
