I am not a child, I wish to speak for myself and have a voice and have someone in a similar career position to rep me. I would not personally like to be on the board but this attitude that we are vulnerable therefore we shouldn’t be on the board reads more like we are naive 2/

Oof, I'm sorry. Not what I was referring to, but this is still unfortunate. I proposed a few ECR who are well invested in this field, 1 made it to the final slate (as well as another ECR) but both of them were voted off by the Board. The board overwhelming didn't want change.

Ugh that really sucks.

Good lord. In my area, postgraduates present ALL THE TIME. It’s expected. I always wondered about those “new voices” panels. Now I know.

I mean yeah, we do present as people who generally work in the field but I don’t feel with much support from large bodies tbh. Despite doing early Medieval English stuff comparatively with Irish and Scottish material I feel very distant from anything going on.

I remember being upset at the time. I’m not so much anymore tbh. The whole thing struck me as poorly managed, and they had (I think?) an ECR to send the rejection emails.
