It is very difficult to use the medieval history race work mostly b/c they all are stuck in pre-civil right eugenicist definitions and have avoided 60 years of race scholarship in the social sciences. It is like a funhouse white supremacist bubble.

It would be nice if they would read what the rest of the social sciences are up to at the very least. I get the sense they will ignore the literature folks and religious studies and art history folks etc. but they could check in w/ their larger area.

Yeah I'd have no leg to stand on if it weren't for CRT, and it's often strange to see people pay lip service to it without understanding its history and context, to say nothing of current scholarship. I like to think folks are getting better about much of this, though...

...perhaps I'm being overly optimistic.

I still get the “but they didn’t say race then” question. I am like, they also did not say Medieval, Middle Ages, gender, class etc. and your point?

We should just do handouts and say other questions than this.

I'd also love a mug that just says "having black hagiographies doesn't make you anti-racist" in giant letters, for every time I give a talk and someone says "but have you heard of Bilal? or Antarah?"

Omg. This. For me I am like, if the virgin martyr is Black at the end that means it is full Dolzealean transracialism and there is some wth white woman racist stuff going on.

Though I am often optimistic about religious studies folks. They seem to talk to others.

True! I'm also loving my peers who focus on al-Andalus drilling down on a lot of these things with care.

When I did my LiCO piece on ABBA Moses I had so much delight in talking to the late antiquity Coptic scholars and the early Christianity and biblical scholars.
