Socialist UPenn professor's sickening celebration post about UnitedHealthcare CEO's death
Daily mail ^ | 10 December 2024 | RACHEL BOWMAN

A University of Pennsylvania Professor is being slammed for sharing social media posts celebrating the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the school's connection to the crime.

Alumni Luigi Mangione, 26, was arrested on Monday and charged with murder for the December 4 slaying.

Assistant Professor of English and Cinema & Media Studies Julia Alekseyeva, who described herself as a 'socialist and ardent antifascist' on her website, made several posts embracing Mangione.

In a since-deleted TikTok, Alekseyeva is smiling as the Les Miserables song 'Do You Hear the People Sing?' played.

'Have never been prouder to be a professor at the University of Pennsylvania,' she captioned the post, replacing the 'E' in Pennsylvania with the number 3.

UPenn graduate Eyal Yakoby also shared a screenshot of the English professor's Instagram Story speculating on Mangione's sexuality. 'The icon we all need and deserve,' she said.

Critics blasted Alekseyeva for the distasteful posts and demanded accountability from the school.

...

Last week, Columbia University professor Anthony Zenkus sparked outrage with his distasteful response to Thompson's murder.

Zenkus, a social work professor at Columbia and Adelphi University, implied people should not mourn Thompson's death.

LOL. Considering that the fascists were “ardent” socialists kind of shows this person is a moron.

She’ll be getting a strongly worded letter.

And then business as usual.

I guess you can have a Ph.D. and still do/say stupid things. This will follow her the rest of her life.

I heard an interview with Victor Davis Hansen from Stanford stating that beginning 2025 universities are going to “Have A Rendezvous With Reality!” Couldn’t come soon enough, IMHO.

A University of Pennsylvania Professor

Her resume must have been a blank page so much for standards.

No wonder people come out of University worse than when they went in.

Leftist women seem to be at the root of most of the country’s problems.

They are just the product of our failed government indoctrination centers/public schools

Is this really about left vs right?

Or is it about the elite against all of us?

Julia Alekseyeva is an Assistant Professor of English and Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She received her Ph.D. in 2017 from Harvard University’s Department of Comparative Literature, with a secondary field in Film and Visual Studies, and has taught at Harvard and Brooklyn College. Prior to her appointment at Penn, she was a postdoctoral fellow in the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies. She researches the interactions between global media and radical leftist politics. Her work is fundamentally comparative and transnational, and delves into the film, comics, television, and digital media of Japan, France, and the former Soviet Union.

Prof. Alekseyeva’s first academic biook, Antifascism and the Avant-Garde: Radical Documentary in the 1960s, will be published in February 2025. This work argues that French and Japanese practitioners and theorists of experimental and political documentary of the 1960s saw their work as engaging explicitly in an everyday practice of antifascism that joins personal and political struggle. In addition, she argues that this practice and ideology is tied to the work of the 1920s Soviet avant-garde, and especially to avant-garde documentarist Dziga Vertov. She has previously written on topics such as the avant-garde documentary in East Asia, Pink Film, transnational animation, Soviet avant-garde film, and the French New Wave.

Along with her academic research and teaching, Prof. Alekseyeva is also an author-illustrator, whose award-winning non-fiction graphic novel, Soviet Daughter: A Graphic Revolution, was published in 2017. She has published several articles on global film and media history, in both written and graphic narrative format, in Film History, The Journal of Japanese and Korean Cinema, ARTMargins, The Nib, The Sixties, Cine-Files, Oxford Research in English, Jewish Currents, Concentric, and The Paper Brigade, alongside chapters in anthologies published by Bloomsbury, Routledge, and Rowman & Littlefield. She also guest-edited the Jewish Currents “Soviet Issue” in Winter-Spring 2022.
