My keynote may have offended. If you truly know me, you’re aware I know how to wear pearls. I also know their purpose. My keynote was not for senior scholars in premodern studies. You & I know the terrain. Don’t @ me w/your BS. This talk was for ECRs.

#RaceB4Race showed what my exile, my silence, the absence of my support & my “I got your back” may have meant to this emerging community, to myself. This isn’t about ego but about visibility. Seeing your “own.”#RepresentationDoesMatterNäytä tämä ketju -
#RaceB4Race2 ECRs I made an offer/promise to support & elevate your work. I offer me as a potential reader of your work for publication venues & personnel. Doesn’t mean I’ll get chosen but know you can list me as a possible reviewer.Näytä tämä ketju -
I offer me as a confidential sounding board. Stress-free venting is crucial to survive premodern studies (or any career). I had Kim, Arthur, & Ayanna. No senior scholar of color mentor. The few BIPoC when I started were pretty much in the same boat, ECR.

I offer advice: Let nothing keep you from the PCRS convo. The arena is larger & more varied than when I began. I was fortunate. Today, I’d probably be the best fucking premodern studies Independent Scholar writing romances on the planet.

A BIPoC reminder: Be kind to yourselves, cruel to your enemies, & know there’s a community of BIPoC premodern critical race studies folk gathering. There are allies (ask a Senior BIPoC & ye shall be told). Not all who speak allyship bear the scars.
