So there has been some discussion about bullying and harassment. We have a history of having academic bullies and by "we" I mean established, senior and even ECR scholars (like the one who did that Beowulf compilation). 1/10 #medievaltwitter #academictwitter

Do you mind if I ask about the Beowulf compilation? I feel OOTL on that.

Sorry missed this question. The reassessment author (not the reviewer to be clear) wanted to 'take down' a well-known female scholar. His misogyny knows no bounds.https://www.academia.edu/23720397/Leonard_Neidorf_ed._The_Dating_of_Beowulf_A_Reassessment_Cambridge_D._S._Brewer_2014_ …

Oh yeah, that prick. Completely shot me down at a conference once, wouldn't listen to my argument just cut me off with "no, you're wrong".

You mean the same person who lost his fellowship for sexual assault? I'm shocked.

We’re talking about LN here right? Because another academic in that book shat on feminist and queer theory as well I believe.

Okay thanks for the clarity. Don’t suppose anyone knows of a scholar who prefers an early Beowulf date that isn’t horrible

I've never met the mentor of 'the one who can't be named' (as a friend of mine calls him) and I know nothing about him as a person, but he's a prominent early dater.
