How China Is Censoring Scientific Research Across The Globe

1 week ago | thefederalist.com | Bruce Gilley

We all know how serious environmental degradation is in China. Its emissions have skyrocketed, air and water quality have plummeted, and critical habitat and ecosystems have disappeared. That’s why unadulterated research on the topic is critical to better informed policy. But my recent experience shows that China’s censorship model is spreading to the West, hindering that research from taking place.
A Year at New College

By Bruce GilleyIt takes me about eight minutes to walk across the campus of the New College of Florida, where I just concluded a year as a visiting professor. There are rare sightings of students, a grand total of 800, who dart in and out from under the palm trees like white ibises. The clock bell on the astroturf in front of the library can be heard from the waterfront all the way to the student dorms.

By Bruce GilleyIn naval warfare, the fainthearted officers often rush to the lifeboats when the battle turns nasty. The Good Ship MAGA is experienced such a mutiny. And those craven officers will look foolish four years hence. It is little more than 100 days into this mission, but many clever deck officers have lost their way. Take your pick of frightened conservative academics, journalists, think tank analysts, or political operatives. They have flinched like lowly deck hands.
Oh, Canada, stop the whining

Mar 29, 2025 | newenglishreview.org | Bruce Gilley

By Bruce GilleyDisparaging the United States has been a Canadian tradition since the War of 1812. Now that an American leader has, for the first time in memory, offered some gentle ripostes, Canadians are playing the victim. Unless they pull out of the national nosedive, the country may never recover. I grew up in Calgary and am familiar with the deeply woven forms of anti-Americanism that define the national identity.

Four Ways to Tame the Administrative State

Editor's Note President Trump’s efforts to restore constitutional order in a system long controlled by unelected experts mark the opening of a new phase in the cold civil war. But, as Bruce Gilley notes, attempts at reform will prove fruitless if they do not include the corrupt and ideological educational establishments that form the foot soldiers of the enemy regime.

Mar 14, 2025 | chroniclesmagazine.org | Bruce Gilley

“Now I ask you: does this person look like someone who is undermining Western civilization?”And with that friendly rhetorical question, the well-known humanities scholar Stanley Fish opened an hour-long love-fest for Berkeley’s notorious gender theorist Judith Butler at the New College of Florida on Feb. 18.
