Both BKA and UC herald the important work of our dear departed colleague, Imtiaz Habib, and the kinds of gaps he noticed an put pressure on to make explicit the fact of Black life in early modern England. 8/ #ShakeRace

UC: how do we consider the relationship between preservation and reparation? 19/

UC: can we think of the archive as fiction; resist attempts to construct the archive as a neutral edifice. The archive can operate as an authorizing fiction to elide what it contains and doesn't contain. And its governed by the fictions and strategies of race making. 20/

BKA: those who come to the archive don't look like the people who used these spaces in 1935. The future will be one where we can bring our full selves to these spaces. 21/

UC: the archive as a space to think with the past and each other rather than just a scholarly rite of passage. How might the space of the archive be transformed by thinking through CRT methods and interventions? 22/

Q&A: talking about digitization. It allows this work to be brought into the classroom. BKA: don't want to fetishize the physical texts so that only certain people get to work with it. The printed object contains subtleties that are lost through digitization. 23/

UC: digitization democratizes and yet it also can preserve hierarchies of power and access. 24/

UC: how do we contend with verifiability that forecloses certain kinds of inquiry. How we think through this problem of authenticity or facticity of data? We can think about how the archive is a political project. Again citing Habib's work. 25/

UC: we need to drill down into our assumptions of the authenticity of collections. We should also think of the accidents in the archive in terms of collections or oversights. 26/

BKA: if a decolonized archive is possible it must be done in concert with the communities that are colonized. An honest and collaborative conversation and action. We make this a democratic space for the public, not just famous scholars. 27/

UC: we need to think about the settler frameworks in which we are all implicated if we are to truly going to have decolonization beyond just metaphor and additive "diversity," model of adding one or two more scholars in the collection. 28/

BKA & UC: we must do whatever we can to demystify the process and to acknowledge the norms that are present that can exclude so that we can insure communal belonging. 29/29pic.twitter.com/niDMfd0Xbu
