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 spent ages trying to be what I thought a 'good' student/academic was - impersonal. Now I try to teach that it's ok to bring your personal responses in - but I also show students they can do that in a sophisticated, history-of-emotions way, and it can enrich your work *and* you.

The personal as political as your scholarship is the point of decades of discussions by BIWOC about autethnography. It’s a critically theorized discussion. My point is why imagine this is new rather than thoroughly theorized etc. since the 70s by BIWOC feminists?

It's not new - that's why I referred to 70s feminists in my talk.

Then I am confused because the reference appeared to be that feminism had failed to address this? And it was not clear that you were referencing either the Combahee River collective, etc.

I think perhaps what you're picking up on, was that I was trying to suggest that our students will come to feel our feminisms haven't done enough - and that's right, and we should encourage them to go beyond us, not tell them it's all been done.

But no one is telling them it has all been done. My point is why erase the labor and work of generations of BIWOC who have discussed and theorized these things. Why is giving them vocabulary and resources stopping them from developing further?

You said, in your question, that this has all been done? I thought your point was to tell students this, since my paper was about how we talk to students. I agree (and I think someone else said this) that it's crucial to give them the tools/bibliographies. But not *only* that.

My point was that the discussion from 3 of the speaker’s kept querying about how to explain their personal in the scholarship they are teaching. I said this has been done b/c 4 decades of intersectional feminism has theorized autoethnography as critical/methodological praxis.

It's work that still needs doing, I think. I think this is a difference we have. All the reading in the world doesn't compare to having the experience.

The experience of teaching with a group of marginalized students or being one? I really am unclear about what you are trying to say. The point is to make central the most marginalized bodies in the classroom, this also means that the instructor may need to de enter themselves.
