My point was that autoethnography discusses this and the messiness of feminist praxis. There are places where these discussions have and are currently happening. Why reinvent the wheel?

Because it's more organic than the wheel. You invent a wheel, everyone can use it. This is more like figuring out your sense of balance. No one can do it for you. A good teacher can show you what it looks like, but that's it. IMHO!

Lecturing faculty do not inhabit the bodies or know the points of view of the most vulnerable bodies out there amongst our students. Inclusive pedagogy is a robust area of research, why should we ignore the research of experts?

No one is suggesting we should, but there's a distinction between what I might read as an academic, and what I might do with my students. Providing a big reading list is great, but so too is acknowledging that they might feel nervous/alienated by it.

Forgive me if I'm intruding on this, but it's such an important conversation and I'm glad it's being discussed. If I could lend an undergrad PoV on what it's like being /taught/? 1/

What
@LucyAllenFWR said re. expressing your own 'brokenness' and fallibility is so important to me. Revealing vulnerability/humanity has only ever been seen positively by myself and my peers. We respect that. My favourite and best tutors are my equals. 2/1 reply 1 retweet 6 likes -

It lessens the separation between student and tutor, student and critic, even tutorial essay and published paper. It gives us more confidence to go off on our own and rely less on critical work to validate our own original thoughts. 3/

I acknowledge that some can't afford to express that vulnerability, that some bodies aren't afforded that space. I'm also extremely aware that I go to an elite institution and have a privileged position as a white cis person 4/

I'm so lucky that I have no set texts and can study the literature I want. But I 100% agree with
@aspencerhall that we need to be taught how to navigate the system. And then WORK the system. Exploit it. Change it. 5/1 reply 2 retweets 2 likes -

It's an excruciatingly slow process. Because of course teachers have control over their classroom, but not over the papers I have to sit & the people who mark them. I have no idea what my conclusion is, but I think it's possible to agree with both

I think this is probably where I am unclear about Lucy’s point. In many ways we are discussing separate things. Vulnerability is deeply situational. Marginalized faculty do not have the privilege of that kind of vulnerability w/our harm being directed at them.
