    Important thread, #medievaltwitter. It’s telling that this white scholar’s CFP takes a white scholar’s work as the issue’s model for “exorcising” the field’s racism. In the CFP, POC’s work serves as critiques/responses/afterwards, but it’s white ppl who imagine “new futures.”https://twitter.com/ISASaxonists/status/1193268205667725315 …

    THREAD: POC are constantly being used by white people and those of us in academia see this on a regular basis. Our words and bodies are used but who we are has little to no value other than to be props. #medievaltwitter pic.twitter.com/dmFQ33UsdI

        The same white scholar organizing the special issue just finished editing a forthcoming anthology of “radical” queer/feminist approaches to an OE text. The anthology features only white authors. One questions how radical/queer/feminist an all-white anthology can BE.

        Earlier this year, I heard a tenured white scholar explain that recent “race panels” at Kzoo/etc were only “diagnostic” and that more “productive” work was needed to imagine new futures, work this scholar planned to do with a conference co-organized with another white person.

        None of these people has been very publicly active in speaking out against the problems in ISXX or in combating them virulent misinformation and white supremacist attacks faced by scholars of color online in the last two months.

        This comes down to what white scholars are willing to sacrifice: scholars of color are spending time and energy doing antiracist work in the public and the field, leaving them little time for publications and scholarship. White ppl are rarely willing to make those sacrifices.

        As white scholars, we need to stop treating antiracist work as a scholarly hobby. We need to stop using scholars of color as tokens in our forays into scholarship on race, and we must stop treating white scholarship as the “real” authorities.

        If white scholars want to help these conversations, why not hand over these special issues and conferences to POC? Why must these conversations be managed and controlled by white scholars? This shouldn’t be about white ppl building a name for themselves using these issues.

        Antiracist work shouldn’t be about name building and edited collections and theoretical scholarly discussions, but about changing the field and its lived conditions. We must move from theory to practice. We must be willing to make sacrifices.

        Replying to @erik_kaars @margiehousley

        racism is the problem of white folx, so naturally they/we center ourselves in it uncritically so we don’t have to change. yet, racism/tribalism exists all over the world (think of Chinese Lang having so many words for barbarians, Persian vrs Arab Muslims), so more than the West
