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.

No, truly I haven’t. Totally not my field, I’m only interested in it to learn. I only weighed in to promote the panels organized by my fellow AARHMS people

Just because I'm tagged in this thread I'll say two things and then bow out: First, the MAA session was directly in response to critique on ITM of how Iberianists handle or don't handle race; so that was an example of an attempt to reach out to people who work on English lit.

And when the session organizer approached one of the ITM bloggers who was at the conference to say that she was sorry that none of the ITM folks and apparently few if any English lit folks came to the session, she was told, textually: "We don't really care about Spain."

And second, Dorothy, you keep asking who are the BIPOC Iberianists. Speaking only for myself, I'm not going to compile or circulate a list of my colleagues based on race, certainly not on Twitter, when doing so would expose them to the kind of harassment that you know too well...

and would put me or anyone else identifying people to you in the position of defining colleagues' racial (and religious, if we want to count that as a racialized category) identities. You'd have to talk to people in the field, get to know the landscape, to see who's where.

You are conflating ITM w/
#RaceB4Race. There are 2 white women at ITM. The white folks at ITM are not involved in organizing#RaceB4Race. If Iberian Studies cannot say race and/or identify the BIPOC scholars in the field, that is something that it needs to self-reflect on why.2 replies 1 retweet 3 likes -

If Iberian studies cannot say race or have an identifiable group of BIPOC scholars in Iberian studies, that is something it should reflect on. If Iberian studies is committed to a critical premodern race studies as

But if you are saying that somehow white Iberianists want a seat at a table when the labor is being done by BIWOC to create a BIPOC centered table in premodern, then they need to get out of this lane b/c it is not theirs. Also, to tell BIWOC that somehow they must do more labor.

Then you and other white Iberianists should consider exactly why the work of antiracism is on the labor of BIWOC and how this fits nothing in relation to how antiracism, political intersectional organizing works.
