1) I’ve not seen anyone critique his scholarship 2) a person can write good scholarship and still be a bully 3) a person can say/do things that contradict “progressive” work 4) you can’t simply separate the person from the work.https://twitter.com/slewisimpson/status/1185109136847097856 …

Wait, what? Is this the same person who sent me an email to ask what she could do and then when I asked her to amplify scholars of color has taken the time to amplify white scholar's work who was bullying and throwing ad homs at us? Color me surprised.

Yes, I have contacted persons, privately, to see if I can understand and better appreciate the issue, particularly as I missed IONA and did not engage in that important discussion. I owe it to understand your POV, I also owe it to understand people POV who I've known a long time.

I genuinely wanted to see if I could help. I have learned much from everyone involved in this, the writing and blogs which have arisen as well as papers concerning inclusion in our area and disciplines. I have incorporated these in my teaching and writing, with thanks & citation.

The thing is, is that the scholarship (like paper I tweeted) opened the field to talking about race and racialized history when no one else was doing that, 20+ yrs ago. The conversation follows on from that earlier scholarship, & conversations about inclusion in arch.

I do not condone personal attacks. Full stop. That is never right. I am open to discussion about how I, as teacher & thinker, can do right, include, & support all scholars, especially those who are marginalized. I will continue to listen, & try to make things better, if I can.

That's my perspective, but I'm on a damn island in the middle of the Atlantic, and am watching this unfold from Twitter. f I can help, I will. But this platform may not be that helpful here. (
@AdmiralHip, this follows on fr your question, I had time to put words down.)3 replies 0 retweets 1 like -
Okay so one thing: I’m reading here that you are positioning Guy as starting the conversation about race/racialization in the field it being at the forefront of it, and I cannot comment on that to be accurate or not because I don’t know but

You have a platform and like Dr MRO said you could have just denounced his behaviour instead of imploring us to read his scholarship, as many of us already have because we work in the field.

Replying to @AdmiralHip @slewisimpson and
There is a problem of white supremacy. So again I will ask, what was the point of your original tweet if not to somehow centre a man in a positive way who has been acting terribly to BIPOC and ECRs?

I wanted people to read the paper. Thought it was relevant.
