There was also a critique that our work wasn't global enough, merely "gestured" toward globality but did not meet its requirements, which they defined as working in other languages besides English

At the time, we accepted the critique as fair. But in this moment, I'm having some different thoughts about this to add to the gatekeeping conversation.

1) Gatekeeping means pernicious understandings of what kinds of scholarship are "appropriate" to what kinds of bodies--in our case, that primarily scholars of East Asian and South Asian descent should be "global" (and which yet gets defined in such narrow ways)

2) Such gatekeeping uses ostensibly cosmopolitan arguments, but refuses to let others define the terms of that cosmopolitanism

3) Another part of this is how we define "rigor," and how liberalist assumptions about what form "rigor" takes (argue both sides, be "global" and "inclusive") are overused to police the work of scholars of color, and especially black scholars

4) And yet other fields that are somehow marked "non-racial"--let's say media theory, since I work in that area, too--are not really questioned for whether they are "rigorous" or "inclusive" as if a subject like aurality and literacy is in itself rigorous and inclusive
