Thank you Harvard legacy history professor with a history professor father, who got a post doc fellowship at the same ivy league department where there’s a chair named after his donor-alum grandparents, for weighing in on how the “nepo baby” discourse is bizarre.
@wideofthepost Nepotism only applies to showbiz, no other profession! Apparently.
@wideofthepost Ad hominem attacks also don’t work against people who have benefited from nepotism.
@wideofthepost Great work if you can get it, as they say
@wideofthepost He's 100% a nepo baby but both that doesn't mean Theo Baker's Atlantic piece is wrong. Both can be true.
@wideofthepost @BlackKnight10k As I posted on his thread… I was able to get a decent-paying yet very physically demanding union job…as a nepo baby. Trust me, you (Anbinder) would never even consider the job, you likely look down on it. But I know why I moved to the head of a quite long line to get the job.
