What this shows me from your comment is that you have decided that the safety & security of vulnerable scholars, is not something you or your organizers are willing to substantially tackle w/out defaulting to classic

As what happened at
#IMC2018 meant I received violent threats against my life including rape threats, deciding that it's "my bitterness" when I have seen no evidence other than you saying, not the director or the organizing committee, that somehow things are happening is1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

classic victim-blaming, it's "my fault" for expecting actual safety & security, let alone organizers who communicate clearly. No.

You can educate yourself and read. And if this is how the members of the organizing committee plan to deal with this, then it further shows that
#IMC2019 and all IMCs in the future are not safe for any marginal scholar. Statements do nothing and clearly you have now decided the1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

way to go is to victim blame me for basically going to fulfill my professional duties, in which I paid the conference to attend, to give talks and moderate sessions, but somehow that should put me in further violent danger and it's "my fault."

If this is the tactic that
@IMC_Leeds plans to take in order to address their safety, security, and inclusion problems. Then basically, they are continuing to support white supremacy, rape culture. What your comment shows me is that it's clear they do not even plan to have the1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

professional ethics to even contact me & apologize for what they refused to do to make sure I would be safe at the conference last year. Instead, you would rather blame the WOC for apparently not making sure your conference was a safe and non-violent space for her to do her job.

So explain to me exactly how I shouldn't, or anyone else who is a medievalist, should not be angry and better that somehow violent threats is what happens when one attends a professional medieval conference? Are you really trying to diminish what is going on or defend that

Replying to @dorothyk98 @DollyJorgensen and
it should be normal for any conference attendees to be put in danger by attending IMC and that's fine and normal regular business-as-usual academic culture? Do you understand that you have participated in a form of necropolitics? So the safety of my body does not matter?

And it is my fault that I find this to be utterly craven, racist, sexist, & a total dereliction of duty if you are running a large professional conference. Who gets to attend #IMC2019 or any #IMC in the future then? Only white medievalists & those supporting fascists?

B/c it's quite clear who is quite comfortable, as
@SLevelt has pointed out, attending#IMC2019 and who cannot because the conference cannot and refuses to attend to safety and security.0 replies 0 retweets 3 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
