Anonymity and Invisibility ...
But McLemee makes a more interesting point: that how one uses one's anonymity is a good measure of character. There are characters on the net and elsewhere (what is" confidentiality" or"blind peer review," for that matter, but anonymity?) who hide behind their invisibility only to chew on the ankles of those who do serious work or even serious jest. What distinguished The Invisible Adjunct was her use of anonymity to make visible the plight of those who found themselves made invisible in higher education's maws. She did it with grace. Always with civility, but always forcefully. More than that, now, she lets us know that we have agency. Victimhood is necessarily only a temporary condition, if it is respectable.
The lists of parting tributes to The Invisible Adjunct continue to grow, both at her site and here:
