    The International Society of Anglo-Saxonists needs to change its name to acknowledge that the term Anglo-Saxon is widely used in racist rhetoric. Be accountable and acknowledge that. Changing the name doesn't make you any less of a scholar. #medievaltwitter #ASS #shakerace

        I've only ever described myself as an early medievalist, even though my PhD is on Bede. Could it be the Society for the Study of Early Medieval England?

        What if we change the name *and* engage on a practical front to clarify the misconceptions? Changes in academe are fantastic, but the problems are fomenting beyond the ivory towers.

        Both are necessary for the survival of the field.

        I'm organising a session @IMC_Leeds 2020 on the name (& scope) of its '#AngloSaxon Studies' strand (I'm strand convenor). This will be a genuine consultation with all views heard & respected - there's no preconceived outcome. But we are thinking critically, actively, about this.

        Excellent. What if the ISAS vote doesn't pass?

        As someone who is not a scholar, nor a native English speaker, I had no idea that the term Anglo-Saxon was widely used by racists. How and why? And why don't people just use Old English then?

        Axel Folio, PhD, BFF of Mr. Bloodaxe Retweeted Erik "Mr. Bloodaxe" Wade

        https://twitter.com/erik_kaars/status/1171101840949358592?s=20 … @erik_kaars has a fantastic explanation. Using "Old English" doesn't include the archaeologists, numismatics experts, art historians, etc. So we need a name that reflects a variety of disciplines, not just English lit.

        Axel Folio, PhD, BFF of Mr. Bloodaxe added,

        Erik "Mr. Bloodaxe" Wade @erik_kaars
        "Anglo-Saxon" is a largely 19th-century invention tied to white supremacy. The early English did not use it. That a medieval studies org like ISAS is debating keeping it in their name demonstrates how unwilling the field is to address its ties to white supremacy. #medievaltwitter
