George Ciccariello-Maher, the professor who once tweeted “All I want for Christmas is white genocide,” claims to have been hired as a visiting scholar by New York University’s Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics.

Last week Ciccariello-Maher said he was driven to resign from his post at Drexel University after enduring “nearly a year of harassment by right-wing, white supremacist media outlets and internet mobs,” including “death threats and threats of violence,” presumably following the professor’s tweet about white genocide on Dec. 24, 2016, which sparked media backlash and earned a rebuke from his own university. Ciccariello-Maher later sought to clarify the tweet by referring to it as “satirical,” even slamming Drexel for disavowing his post.
