There was a panel at MAA last year that Nick and I were both on, organized by AARHMS (did Maya take a break from Twitter? Can't find her handle) that the English lit folks pointedly did not attend — it's the mere lip service to interdisciplinarity on their part that's the issue.

In my experience a lot of it seems to be driven by the fact that establishing a careful historical context makes some of the big conclusions drawn from lit a little tough to sustain

So the question of course is was the entire panel or even 50% BIPOC scholars? At the moment,
#RaceB4Race centers BIPOC. So feel free to tell us who we should talk to who is a BIPOC scholar who does Iberian. Not that I was or actually the#RaceB4Race participants now were at MAA.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

I’m not sure who was on the past panels or is planning on the future panels. They aren’t my panels. I was just answering Nicholas’s inquiry about Iberian scholars, or scholars of Iberia rather.

And my point is that
#RaceB4Race centers BIPOC scholars. So, who are your BIPOC scholars who work on Iberia. Also apparently, if you have not seen the tweets, please read them to realize that we have discussed a very specific formulation that is political, about activism.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

It's also delightful that you all can be at MAA. Some of us can't. We don't know if fascists will be stalking us.

Also, please realize, your comment about our "historical" research is a hallmark of postracialism. Feel free to read Sumi Cho's article. it's one of the hallmarks. Its a form of moral equivalence, the call for "rigor" b/c to talk about race is somehow not "real research."

It's racist as Cho explains quite eloquently in her legal scholarship. If you have actually read the entire
#RaceB4Race thread, it is not the antiracist, intersectional, critical premodern race we are interested in.1 reply 1 retweet 4 likes -

That sounds good, I would hope this stuff would be activist and anti racist. I really don’t know who will sign up for the AARHMS panels, but hopefully some good critical and antiracist scholars. Also note AARHMS isn’t sponsoring MAA sessions here. Leeds and Kzoo.

There are 9-12 speakers at each #RaceB4Race. There is no registration fee so ppl can come. No one in this thread who is asking why white iberianists are not centered has come to #RaceB4Race.So how is a critique of the predominately BIWOC organizing this series & finding resources

To have this kind of meeting to center the work and convos of BIPOC more of the issue that critiquing the white supremacy of all those medieval conferences you named that is 99% white? Do you have BIPOC caucus or org? Are you giving them resources to have &

Lead this convo? So if this is a complaint about white medievalists not being the center about critical premodern race then you are not interested in what we are doing. Nor have you engaged in any of this conversation F2F or online.
