Talk:Robert Jensen

message: I removed the following paragraph as it came across as original analysis, as well as non-NPOV:
:The counter to this criticism, however, is that there is a bankruptcy of critical information in the U.S. news media that disadvantages citizens of the U.S. markedly when it comes to being presented with critiques by the like of Jensen's (see the propaganda model ). Thus, the fact that thousands complained about Jensen's so soon after the attacks is hardly surprising, especially given the hysterical propagandistic coverage that permeated most U.S. mainstream news coverage. In a less Americentric vantage point, Jensen's critique could be said to have mimicked the majority of the rest of the world's sentiments, as various global polling studies have amply demonstrated (i.e. rather high unpopularity of President George W. Bush and past aggressive U.S. foreign policies). The fact that he raised the ire of an elitist, wealthy University president could be interpreted as admirable, even the responsibility of an intellectual.
This statement is unreferenced and seems to be a Wikipedia author's own defense of Jensen's editorial, rather than a paraphrasing of any notable non-Wikipedia defense of Jensen. Also, language like "elitist, wealthy University president" or "hysterical propagandistic coverage" is, of course, not ever remotely NPOV. Peter G Werner 17:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Can we add quotes? I liked this quote:
""I'm not a pacifist in philosophical terms. I think there are times and places where using violence to stop a greater injustice can be morally justified. This ain't the track I'm gonna go down, though... There were times in US history when that was possible. Even as late as the 1960's, there were revolutionary moments in the world where something more dramatic might have been possible. This is not such a time. So we must first put aside any fantasies about "the revolution"... It doesn't mean however that we put aside revolutionary ideals. To recognize that this is not a revolutionary moment in history, that we are not going to topple sistems of unjust and unsustainable power does not mean that one gives up revolutionary or radical ideals. It means one is sensible about how you strategically try to deploy them in this world. So when I talk about action, I want figure out how do you retain a radical spirit, even if in the moment radical action is not possible or sensible." from his talk Taking Politics Seriously: Looking Beyond the Election and Beyond Elections - http://www.zmag.org/zaudio/2911 (minute 28)Brinerustle (talk) 10:15, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quotes? 

message: Anyone else think that linking the description "radical christian" to christian atheism without some qualifying remarks will result in puzzlement and perhaps the identification of christian atheism as a form of radical christianity. It's true that Jenson has described himself in these terms, whilst acknowledging at the same time that his beliefs have not changed much from his earlier christian atheism. Perhaps that could be made clearer, and the link placed on the latter term? 62.254.133.139 (talk) 14:33, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Move discussion in progress 

message: I am Robert Jensen, the subject of this page. As of Sept. 1, 2018, I have retired from the University of Texas. So, this:
"has been professor of journalism at the University of Texas at Austin since 1992."
Should be updated to say:
"was a professor in the School of Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin from 1992-2018."
I also thought it would be helpful if somewhere on the page this was included:
"Jensen's writing is archived at http://robertwjensen.org/."
And, finally, in the "Controversy/Views on transgender ideology," I would suggest adding this:
"More of Jensen's writing on this subject is online at http://robertwjensen.org/articles/by-topic/gender-sexuality-and-pornography/."
Thank you.
