sooo @oaklandpoliceca kept both of my inhalers as "evidence" when I was detained on Friday. For the last four days I have begged anybody who would listen to just return me my vital medication, to no avail. Any advice?

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera That isn’t what your responses indicate

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera Same thing when my students are introducing people as “cult member.” That is a highly stigmatized term. Introduce them using people/first, non-stigmatizing language so we don’t give audiences the chance to read into things we aren’t saying & misrepresent data

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera Ya! Lets say the study is college men*, sexual violence. Introduce participants as “kyle, 24” “jerod, 28” and “tyler, 23” instead. When you are analyzing race (rather than gender) include race. Otherwise, we’re at risk of confirmation bias & playing into audience implicit biases

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera This says nothing about inclusion/exclusion nor does a critical read of any of my responses

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera I’m not asking to ignore race, I’m asking you to present it responsibly and to account for the implicit biases and audience representation that has led to the reproduction of racialized data and stereotypes that CONTINUE to penalize POC. Don’t if you don’t want an answer

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera I’m recommending you introduce your participants as people and use race later. People centered language. That is all

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera So drop this thread since it wasn’t a conversation you were ready to have....”is RACE a responsible way to initially identify/introduce your participants?” given the cultural & rhetorical history of the US & literally every other racist/colorist society, the answer is no.

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera I’m coming from the perspective of an intersectional feminist interested in critical race, social constructionism, and the expansion of information networks and access to research, if that’s any help..

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera I don’t see recognizing differences as a reduction? Researchers should account for and prevent implicit and explicit biases in research by addressing their participants in PEOPLE FIRST language, and using race as a separate lens/frame of analysis

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera What seems like a rationale for racism and race in study design is the idea that participants should be introduced by race and class as if that is the reason they are saying whT they are saying. I do not mean to call you out, but instead to call you in

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera I really appreciate your thoughts, responses, and the conversations you start here!!!! Especially the threads you do that “unpack” and analyze. We love shareable, digestible, accessible information!!!

[Hannah Hutton @hannahisfamous]

@NBedera Does this seem reasonable? I don’t mean to argue that race isn’t important and necessary in literally almost every study, but I also think there is something to be said for how and where we discuss participants’ identities, specifically when it can lead to unintended consequences
