That moment when you have to respond to a senior academic who has included your abstract in a panel but has misspelled your name. How do you tell them that they should spell your name correctly in the submission? #LitPOC

I’d do this: “Thank you for organizing such a great panel; I’m honored/excited to contribute to it. I noticed my name is misspelled—it should be *Ambereen Dadabhoy* in the program. Thanks again/looking forward/etc.”

We old white senior dudes also need to do better with these things. On behalf of my peer group, I apologize. (And for the specific times I did these things that I wouldn't know of because it would suck to have to tell me. I hope they are few).

This mistake happens across many demographics. I’ve done it too, and immediately sent an email apologizing for it.

Yeah my name is hard to spell, but my problem is more that I assume I can correct anyone about *anything* at *anytime* not just my own name... so maybe we should remember it's not automatically the same for everyone else.

This is very true. Many of us just have to sit silently and let our names be mispronounced or misspelled. The president of my institution did this for a long time.
