Quick vox pop: if someone approached you now about the possibility of writing a chapter for a collection, how much time would you think it was reasonable of them to offer? Hugely conscious how many demands people have on their time at present, and for the foreseeable future.

I adore these responses. Recently, I've been given 3 months and 2 months.

i know many
#ShakeRace people who have been given 2-3 month timelines. People are performing well under pressure/urgency, but I always wonder when Vol is out whether folks realize some folks had from beginning of project & others had so little time . . .1 vastaus 0 uudelleentwiittausta 9 tykkäystä -
2-3 months does not seem to be enough time (unless very short pieces). I'm sorry this is happening, and in some cases I guess it reflects problems--in the case of gaps and exclusions--in the original plans for the volume (obviously could also be bc someone had to pull out!)

I think more often than not it reflects certain gaps, which shows how marginalized thinking through race is in our field. It also puts an incredible amount of pressure on that scholar to produce excellent work lest the field continue to be marginalized.

This exactly describes my experience. I’ve been given 3 months in one case for a shorter piece, and said no to another unless given until winter and now agreed to do it.

Glad you were able to get a longer deadline on the second. But I'm really taken aback at some of the short turnarounds that are being suggested here. They might be fine if you were doing precisely nothing else with your time!

As mentioned already, my agreeing to do this w a very full plate on tenure clock (& a 1-yr-old at home & no childcare!) has a lot to do w REALLY not wanting another volume out in the world that doesn’t talk about race, caste, disability & their v consequential intersections.

Yes, Amrita we do it because we feel a sense of responsibility to our field but by doing so we let the editors off the hook for not already thinking intersectionally when they are drafting the volume. I’m at the place where I’m willing to let that happen. 1/

And I will respond to those occlusions and elisions in writing in other venues that respect the field and give me time to write my best. 2/2 #ShakeRace
