Sara Teinturier<p>Alondra Nelson explains why she is resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council.</p><p>"I follow political economist Albert O. Hirschman, in his seminal work Exit, Voice, and Loyalty, who offered a framework for understanding responses to institutional decline. Exit (leaving) and voice (speaking up) need not be mutually exclusive strategies. My resignations are both, an exit that amplifies the voice of others. By departing these advisory roles, I aim to speak more clearly in my own language about what they have become and what they ought to be. This is not an abandonment of loyalty to these institutions' missions, but rather, its highest expression"</p><p><a href="https://social.sciences.re/tags/NSB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NSB</span></a> <a href="https://social.sciences.re/tags/libraryofcongress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libraryofcongress</span></a> <a href="https://social.sciences.re/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://time.com/7285045/resigning-national-science-foundation-library-congress/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">time.com/7285045/resigning-nat</span><span class="invisible">ional-science-foundation-library-congress/</span></a></p>
