#RaceB4Race makes me proud to have co-edited a book for @acmrs_org. Following these tweets from afar and participating in a planning symposium earlier this month for an ASSC conference on OE + Af Am studies at Columbia in September has been really exciting. https://twitter.com/jeffreyjcohen/status/1086608499360948224 …

#RaceB4Race is rather different than let's publish Frantzen's festschrift. Also from what I understand of this planning symposium, other than 2 students, there were no Med/Ren BIPOC.2 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -
There were only two BIPOC students at the London planning event. I’m a little surprised at your characterization of the event, Erica, given how much the organizers seemed to be pushing back on recent (MOC) race panels and expressed a distrust of “identity politics.”

#RaceB4Race is a new direction for ACMRS and a really exciting one; I can't wait to see how Ayanna Thompson continues to reinvent the center.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
I expect you published under Bjork's aegis, the one who decided that Frantzen the fascist was his top priority. Ayanna Thompson, #Raceb4Race are diametrically opposed to everything that previous ACMRS prioritized. One supported fascism. The other is the exact opposite.
