If you ask me to review something on race in the early modern period, you better believe I’m looking at the bibliography first. #CiteBlackWomen #ShakeRace #LitPOC #AcademicTwitter

There’s a lot of columbusing going on with groundbreaking race work being credited to people who use race as a metaphor or people just suddenly deciding that race was a thing.pic.twitter.com/z6fI81AHCP

Yup. This is ever so familiar. For medievalists, I am like, and explain again why haven't you cited Heng as at the very least the most recent discussion.

I made a white woman super uncomfortable at NCS b/c she wanted to discuss race, but said she had read Heng's book but didn't agree, but then wouldn't cite her, but then wouldn't explain why her particular whatever was different, since it pretty much sounded like what Heng said.

Of course there were those Kzoo sessions last year that said they were talking about race, never defined it, used euphemisms that were soooo wth, while she is in the audience. She told them define race, you can cite me.

They can’t explain why because they don’t know their CRT or Post/anti/decolonial theory... so it is just we will complain about senior WOC scholar in our field (can count how many there are of those on my hand) but not do our research b/c white mediocrity.

Like how do you say you disagree w/ Heng’s definition w/out explaining your definition but somehow that is ok and “rigorous”... nope.

Apparently I am very intense when I ask faculty questions. I am interested in actual logical and researched answers.

Then don't ask me any questions: I'm prone to speculative digressions.

These are the white faculty. Apparently it makes them nervous.
