Tired of the all-male panels and articles on the #Balkans without female voices, I'm trying to make the excuses harder by creating a #WomenAlsoKnowBalkans list of brilliant female researchers & practitioners working in/on the Balkans: https://t.co/jSfSzMJqdH. Who else to add?
Just watched a white dude mansplain feminist geography to @ProfGillian . Oops... word of advice: if you’re told you’re lacking key scholarship (feminist, queer, anti racist...) don’t justify your exclusions. Ask for references and get excited for your scholarship to be expanded.
What is an #altcite, you ask? Altcites are alternative citations, the other voices, the non-canonical ideas. Altcites are anti-zeitgeist, off-trend but on-point, heterodox not orthodox. @altcite will be launching at the @RGS_IBG from Tuesday August 28th 2018. #RGSIBG18 Join us!
How do you #altcite? It's not exact, but something like: 1. Attend conference or event 2. Engage with some great ideas 3. Think of perspectives or voices you'd also like to see cited in the session 4. Tweet the details with the #altcite hashtag @altcite 5. We'll add to the list!
If you're at the #aag2019#aagdc you might find #altcite useful. We launched @rgsibg 2018 to keep track of citations that were absent and overlooked. During a session just tweet @altcite with suggested missing citations. If you can help monitor the account this week, please DM.
@jilltxt @ProfGillian Exactly! An altcite can be in response to a total void, not just a reaction to selective citational practices but also those that aren't selective at all - talking about cyberspace without giving any references? Think about Boym on lazy Internet patriots in the 90s #altcite
Another #altcite on #algorithmicwar. It isn’t just in academia that good research Is routinely overlooked or miscredited.@guardian and other news media could consider wider citational practices too.
This is not a new phenomenon. I published on 'Algorithmic War' in @antipodeonline in 2008, a decade... It is a specific form of machine learning that is novel in war futures.
@jilltxt @ProfGillian You can altcite without citations too!! We are gathering up quite a strong collection of references - and AoIR seems like there are some fruitful discussions going on (and so many excellent First Nations and BME/PoC people and women in attendance!) ?
Thanks to everyone who supported #altcite at the #RGSIBG18 We're now going to take some time to put the list of references together, and reflect on where to go next. Meanwhile, do keep #altcite - ing! If you would like to use @altcite for your event, please get in touch via DM...
Final day of #RGSIBG18 and our trial run of #altcite is nearly over! Keep the cites coming, and head to "Capturing the landscape of the conference" for Session 4 (16:50 - 18:30) in the Main Building Large Shandon Lecture Theatre to see a run down of how it has all worked out.
Ready for day 2! Keep up with the #altcite tag, and check out the website to see where our cites are up to: https://t.co/pgTu41QTsP If you're at a research group AGM today, don't forget to mention @altcite (and show off your cards and stickers if you have them!) #RGSIBG18#RGS18
