    I want to give some examples on the gatekeeping of knowledge production from BIPoC that I've experienced either personally, through research collaborations, or seen my friends experience. Some more subtle than others, but all still insidious and pervasive.

        First. A friend has received a review on their academic submission. The review is patronising (typical). But. The critique that a lot of the citations come from non-academic work (which happen to be produced by BIPoC) is highly problematic.

        There is so much valuable work done by BIPoC that is archived online simply because the academy has historically ignored our contributions. So, we take it online. And what about it?

        When exactly is this work laundered enough through citations for it to be considered ‘academic’? Yet, these same ‘non-academic’ works are produced by the very people whom many academics love to observe and write about in their own academic works. And on occasion, steal from.

        Second. I published a thoroughly referenced essay as part of a series of politically charged pieces. Mine was the third and only, so far, to get comments: two from the same person. First comment suggests commenter has not even read the piece.

        Commenter comes back to belittle my essay and declare the next essay to come as having a better argument (even though it hasn’t been published yet and only contains a blurb). When things like this keep happening ‘by coincidence’ when you’re the only Black person in the group...

        Third. Last year, ECR tries to drag a collaboration I’m involved in. Questions everything from our ethics to our methods and motives. Our research lead engages and tries to explain, even citing two recent very similar projects. ECR declares that those researchers ‘are experts'

        ECR even goes as far as tagging the editor of Times Higher Ed in bid to get us investigated. A colleague joins him, and they make fun of our website, and speculate about our possible motives. And make fun of one of our articles.

        What is the difference between our work and those other two projects? They are western-based and we are a team of visibly BIPoC with an Asian base. No other difference at all. Through his lens, what right do we think we have to embark on this work.

        His small mind could not fathom that a team of mostly Black and Brown people have what it takes to pull it off. He simply didn’t value our knowledge production and therefore wanted to stop it at all costs.

        There are many examples of this occurring on the daily. Everything that deviates from White hegemony is instantly devalued. Please question how you accept/dismiss and gatekeep knowledge production. We are no longer buying the excuse of ‘unconscious bias’ or ‘wilfull ignorance’.
