been thinking more about this. I think it's super good & moves discussion in a productive direction. I've never advocated throwing out all scholarship on Crusades (despite accusations to the contrary). We should be aware of its sometimes colonial subtext though. #medievaltwitterhttps://twitter.com/homophonous/status/946763848522043394 …

If we threw out everything written by a sexist we would have practically no editions, pre-70’s scholarship etc. (and of course few medieval sources) So yeah, use it, but be aware of the gendered assumptions.

I think I am going to go back and reread some Spiegel. As for why do we not have things that aren’t by sexists and racists... welcome to centuries of gatekeeping. Shouldn’t this be intellectually exciting to start fresh without the press of these gatekeepers?
