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

But my main point was not about a pedagogy of vulnerability. My point was to discuss what Lucy said on the roundtable that suggested that you have to teach your most vulnerable students to comply w/ the system. Not the the students must learn the system to resist it.

No, that's absolutely not what I am saying. I'm saying it's good to show students they can be incomplete/ imperfect. That can feel quite personal - but we academics are like this too. It's ok, for eg, to be upset in response to texts - it can even be incorporated into your work.

I think then this is what was not clear in your presentation. What you were saying does not connect with what you are saying now. What I commented on was what you seemed to be saying in your presentation. This is why I keep saying we are having different convos.

Don't worry about it - it is really hard to follow when people are slightly talking in code, which I think we were because I didn't realise how different the US situation was. Besides, it's led to lots of thoughts, which is good!

The thing is, intersectional feminism is also discussed in Europe. So I am not sure why there is not some clarity that non-white and non-pre-2nd wave feminism has already addressed this theoretically for a long time. Sara Ahmed taught in the UK, do we ignore her work?
