@drkjlewis: Teaching a thing is also a really great way to learn it, not simply in the sense of catching/keeping up on the literature, but because it actually changes how we look at things #gms2018

@dorothyk98: Laying out HOW to disclose one's own situation re: research -- acknowledging their own particular privileges -- gives them a model to follow and also to think about what doing that actually means#gms20181 reply 1 retweet 1 likeShow this thread -
Lucy: How to balance the utility of models with the overwhelming pressure of "you already should have read this?" Even though these methods were developed from activism, they RECEIVE these methods in the context of academia

@dorothyk98: This then becomes a question of differing kinds of feminism: perspectives of feminists and women of color are invaluable elements of praxis across multiple spaces#gms20181 reply 2 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -
@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? Cognitive apprenticeship, equipping them to do the kind of work we do, starts with them#gms20181 reply 3 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -
@aspencerhall: Balancing sense that feminist activism in the academy is at least a partial failure vs. wanting to encourage those who know accessibility is less than ideal?#gms20182 replies 3 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -

@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.

The system is never going to treat them equitably even if they know the rules the best. This is literally what the definition of respectability politics is. Sure students need to know the system but not to comply and become the perfect marginal subject.

I am saying that I respect my students who feel equally marginalised by all of us 'grown up' academics. A student of mine who is wondering if she's a lesbian may need to know that that's a question I thought about too, and it's part of my academic work.

But that is not what you are saying in your earlier statement. That is the idea of the academic and their own autethnography in teaching and centering experience as a form of authority.

Ah, no. I don't think autoethnography enables a form of authority. It's not my field (
@AliceInAcademia?!), but I don't think authority is the question here.0 replies 0 retweets 0 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
