@lauravarnam: Ask students upfront: who do they think the critics are? Who do they think YOU [the instructor] are? What do they think you do when you approach your own research?

@dorothyk98 made excellent point here - my conception of feminist practice I was thinking about as the ground of my comment is decidedly *white* feminism. Intersectional feminist ethos, praxis, activism has & does cover more ground with more access & urgency#gms20182 replies 1 retweet 4 likes -
Yes, but I do think it's important to respect students like my black and queer students, who still feel alienated. What to us may seem 'inclusive' may seem bewilderingly 'academic' and inaccessible. We need to give them tools to figure things out.
