    It is a common misconception that the alt-right hates academia. On the contrary, they comb online spaces for voices they deem sympathetic. They hate academics who burst their illusory narrative of the white western past, which is what we should be doing.

        As @dorothyk98 points out, "Despite the fact that real Viking history was multicultural, academic medieval studies have historically been to blame for the upholding of that imaginary past." https://time.com/5569399/viking-history-white-nationalists/ …

        Our field wrote the history white supremacists embrace and embellish. Really great scholarship works to undo these damaging myths. Support the scholars who do this work. Grad students and ECRs are committed and energized to get it done. Let's make sure there is a field for them.

        Another layer to this story concerns me. If you write publicly about the Middle Ages, alt right trolls will show up in your mentions, but not all engagements are the same. As we support BIPOC colleagues, expect to learn some new words from these losers.pic.twitter.com/8MTCGhEoeP

        You'll see cartoon frog avatars, snake flags, and all the iconography of the web's scumbag enclaves. We all decide how much we want to deal with that mess. There is a different type of alt right engagement that is more concerning.

        A number of senior white scholars work against our BIPOC colleagues' crucial efforts to improve this field. They challenge allies too but rarely with the same level of mockery and derision.

        When white scholars mock and dismiss our field's entrenched white supremacy and efforts to dismantle it, they signal to white supremacists that they found a sympathetic voice.

        To these white male colleagues, I encourage you to reflect on what you're saying that draws praise and admiration from white supremacists, misogynists, and all manner of hateful chuds. Those are three cheers for white men I hope you don't want.pic.twitter.com/a6yqPWlucC

        Excellent breakdown of this problem here.https://twitter.com/erik_kaars/status/1184855995341836290?s=21 …

        THREAD. So, surprise surprise, the senior white scholars who've been punching down publicly at scholars of color have attracted the attention--and praise--of white supremacist trolls. Who are hailing them as sane, reasonable authorities on their side. #MedievalTwitter pic.twitter.com/yHuvgLpl2X
