So @contextsmag is deeply committed to hard sell of Dolezal. They flog their piece again in connection to Tuvel https://www.facebook.com/contextsmag/posts/10155324430079732 …
-
Contexts eds didn't support anti-racism scholarship of Saida Grundy & no followup to Zandria Robinson's piece. Both Black women sociologists
Why does #sociology publication feverishly publicise 2 articles that reproduce racism & transphobia but dismiss other POC race scholars?
-
-
NYT defence of Tuvel which
@contextsmag promotes is by a White cisgender man who cries academic freedom whilst dismissing minority scholars. -
"Transracialism" posts [Dolezal in
@contextsmag; Tuvel in Hypatia; Hypatia & Contexts editors & NYT defence of Tuvel] have 1 thing in common -
They ignore the scholarship of
#POC & transgender researchers who have been working to dismantle White supremacy & transphobia in academia. -
Cisgender men & White women feminists swing the "academic freedom" argument like a club, aiming to squash minority scholars as "insidious"
-
Many
#POC anti-racism & transgender scholars have pointed out probs of "transracialism" - poorly theorised concept lacking empirical rigour -
In
#sociology we must see that groups least likely to succeed in our field -#POC & transgender people - are targets of bad science. -
So while sociologists with race & gender privilege argue academic freedom (for some), this gatekeeping supports inequality in our discipline
-
Bad
#sociology should never be tolerated. Informed critique by minority sociologists, whether in class, on campus or social media, is valid.

Ok, I'll let you do your thing. Happy to consider substantive responses for the magazine.
-
She is giving you substantive responses right now. Medium doesn't negate quality of critique, regardless of what you'll "let" someone do.
-
By "let" I mean not interfering. By "substantive" I mean something we could publish in the magazine. It's an invitation to submit something.
-
You hv no power to "let" here but assumed it anyway. &if you're inviting a sub, why need for sidelong, passive-aggressive "substantive"?
-
It's just such classic behavior. We see you. All the time. Fools none of us.
