We can do this by listening, and by systemically ensuring that people from marginalized groups get that necessary representation at conferences, in journals, in the library stacks, and tenure track hires.

Absolutely. I fully support this move. My concern is the way this might ironically hamper the scholarly conversation, given that pre-modern views of Jews (cf Loomba and Burton). And let’s be a little cautious before we announce the death of antisemitism, ok?

Not the death at all. A synagogue in Duluth was burned only last night. But one only needs to look on faculty pages, journals, conference programs to see that there’s a big imbalance and a huge need to support scholars of colour and their important research.

ITA. But again, if the scholarly conversation itself is about race, and Jews working on early modern Jews and race are excluded (unless they're non-white), then how can the scholarship itself be inclusive and, from a purely scholarly standpoint, thorough?

As someone who works on premodern Jews and Race, I really do not understand this question.Are there those who identify as Jews of color who work on race in the early modern period or those who identify as BIPOC who work on Jews as racialized in early modern?

or those who work on Jews as racialized in early modern who work on critical race theory.

Did they miss
@respinosa1564 talk? Or Gerry Heng's? Or is it an issue that they feel it is not coming centrally out of Jewish Studies? Though this is also complicated since Jewish Studies grappled itself in its academic trajectory whether to be seen as an ethnic studies or not.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

Also, this is the second meeting, there are 8 more planned. 4 more in Arizona which under Cohen and Thompson's direction. There is one coming to Brandeis. So is this also about not understanding that this is an unfolding convo?
