The handringing was mainly from the panel. Also having never interacted on or offline with Franke, he has blocked me. I assume this is because I attended the panel & asked a question.

thank you so much, for coming informed and for challenging the narrative. sounds like William didn’t quite read the room (or misrepresented it for reasons only he may know)

I don't believe I did misread or misrepresent the room, Sjoerd, but perhaps I'm wrong. I do want to apologize for misinterpreting your reference to screenshots earlier in the thread, however.

I mean, idk about the room but two papers talking about how BIPOC in the field are “extremists”? How can that at all be interpreted in good faith?

I don't believe that either of the two papers in question frames BIPOC as "extremists." Utz's talk focused on what he saw as damaging rhetoric disparaging scholars who are insufficiently anti-racist. 1/

The point of Good's paper was that it's a bad idea to combat WS use of medieval imagery with historical inaccuracy. 2/

In the paper and the Q&A Utz said the the two "sides" (ie ws & bipoc) used similar rhetoric and social media tactics. And said bipoc were damaging conversation, the field et al by demanding people adhere to a "party line" thtat he didn't specify.

Language uses such as extreme, slacktivst, outrage culture , misplaced anger, etc is in itself inflammatory. Not saying they cannot use it. Just saying the rest of us can disagree and voice that disagreement.

I agree with you completely. And I support 100% your right to voice that disagreement, Emily. I thought that your comments at the panel were great. My only point in all of this has been that I'm glad the panel occurred, and I hope it leads to more dialogue, not less.

And, again, I wish that the makeup of the panel had been different. I certainly hope that the makeup of future panels is different.

Let's be clear. Roy Liuzza has already told me the complete opposite of that room. Basically, that the audience generally were not having their 2-sides BS "antiracist" panel. Please go & read what antiracism actually is & stop trying to excuse people who harm a bunch of us.
