Thanks. I think that was it. I was beginning to think I was going nutty.
The LSE blog mentioned on that thread (which is dated) mentions his academic work in detail in his LSE professional bio at the end:
Dr Jacob Breslow is Assistant Professor of Sexuality and Gender at the LSE Department of Gender Studies. He is author of Ambivalent Childhoods: Speculative Futures and the Psychic Life of the Child (University of Minnesota Press, 2021), which brings together critical race, trans, feminist, queer, critical migration, and psychoanalytic theories to explore the role of childhood in shaping and challenging the disposability of young black life, the steadfastness of the gender binary, the queer life of children’s desires, and the precarious status of migrants. His wider research is published in Feminist Theory (forthcoming), Comparative American Studies (2020), American Quarterly (2019), Porn Studies (2018), and Transgender Studies Quarterly (2017).
Now lets look at his actual profile on LSE's website as of today. Its still similar.

My primary area of research is on contemporary U.S. social justice movements, and the ways in which the idea of childhood operates within and against them. Specifically, this work interrogates and thinks with Black Lives Matter, transfeminism, queer youth activism, and anti-deportation movements. My monograph on this research, titled Ambivalent Childhoods: Speculative Futures and the Psychic Life of the Child was published in 2021 by the University of Minnesota Press. It brings together critical race, trans, feminist, queer, critical migration, and psychoanalytic theories to explore the role of childhood in shaping and challenging the disposability of young black life, the steadfastness of the gender binary, the queer life of children’s desires, and the precarious status of migrants. Through an engagement with “the psychic life of the child” it combines theoretical discussions of childhood, blackness, transfeminism, and deportability with critical readings of films, narrative, images, and social justice movements. Beyond Ambivalent Childhoods, my research in this area is published with Feminist Theory (forthcoming), American Quarterly (2019), and Transgender Studies Quarterly (2017).
My second line of research is on transnational and local sexual politics, and the conceptual and lived effects of ameliorating sexual harms. This is a prison abolitionist project that seeks to disrupt the tendency to simply displace ‘unwanted’ sexual content, or sexual subjects, to an unseen ‘elsewhere,’ as if that displacement might render the difficulties of troubling sexualities resolved. In this body of work, I have written on social media’s outsourcing of content moderation and the production of the digital life of coloniality for Porn Studies (2018); and on the relationship between #MeToo and homonationalism for Comparative American Studies (2020). I am currently working with Emma Spruce (University of Liverpool) on a themed issue for Gender, Place & Culture titled Queer and Trans Geographies of Accommodation and Displacement, which combines analyses of local and everyday acts of making or denying spaces for queer subjects, with examinations of the political and psychic landscapes of these spatial politics. My contribution to this issue is a piece of research that brings together queer geographies with carceral geographies.
Now imagine you are a children's charity. The words 'queer life of children's desires' and 'Porn Studies', should encourage you to perhaps look a bit closer rather than just accepting that 'we relied on the fact that he must be ok cos he worked for a university with a good reputation' as a defence. The subject matter might be an area of contention if you are looking at this person as an appropriate person for a children's charity.
Porn Studies? Yes lets get a trustee on board who writes about porn when we know there's a shed load of contentious stuff around your charity and already suggestions of multiple safegarding failures before June 2022. And you know people are continually scrutinising your charity. To not ask enough questions and to think it was a good idea is a failure of duty of care. Of course some fucker is going to pick up on that eventually, (especially considering Mermaids already had the attitude that everyone was out to get them). Your response should be to make sure they are squeaky clean otherwise you are going to have a pile more questions to answer.
So why didn't Susie?
