    Another commenter mentioned going by a pseudonym, which is pretty much what I had in mind - I’ve always been grown up on the idea of not disclosing your full name nor your physical location, but many universities’ websites not only shows the full names of their profs, but also their coordinates and their office hours.

    There’s a publicly available record of where and when someone is readily present, for better and, especially when it comes to preserving one’s safety, for worse.

    Let me make this point clearer: would you publicly disclose where you live or where you spend most of your time? I hope you see some of my concerns now.

    I trust this is the right place to find like minded people and maybe find a solution, not to argue about what an academic should or should not be.
