@PiersatPenn @gilbertlisak’s #Kzoo2019 talk (#s482) on using social media to engage her social studies classroom with Kzoo18 underscored the importance of the robust and lively community of #MedievalTwitter in making that a success.
#kzoo2019 #s482 @Nahir_Otano: “The medieval studies that most of us started with has changed.” And our field is being used as a litmus test. We need to do better.
#kzoo2019 #s482 @Nahir_Otano: Remember that this is not about you, and that suffering is not oppression.
#kzoo2019 #s482 @Nahir_Otano: Scholars are used to being experts. White scholars need to admit that they are not experts. They need to admit that they will make mistakes.
#kzoo2019 #s482 @Nahir_Otano: This field forced me to be an activist medievalist. And you have to be an activist medievalist, too.
Being an activist gains you nothing — it requires sacrifice and service. It also means making people angry. And when someone yells at you, yell back.
#KZoo2019 #s482 @Nahir_Otano emphasizes the value that she brings to the field, that her distinct perspective brings to the field. Echoing @platanoclassics: I should have this job, I should be here, because I am a Latina.
#kzoo2019 #s482 @Nahir_Otano: This conference sucks without @MedievalistsOC. White colleagues need to fix it if they want MoC to come back.
AND @gilbertlisak asked her students to consider the social context for @KzooICMS and its connection to what (and who) gets published! Questions I am guessing most of us NEVER talked about on grad school! @materialcoll #Kzoo2019 #s482
#kzoo2019 #s482 So #MedievalTwitter allowed @gilbertlisak’s class to take a “virtual field trip” to Kzoo ... and to critique it!
#kzoo2019 #s482 @joshua_r_eyler’s responses to @gilbertlisak’s students’ questions about disability opened discussion, and modeled the way that academic endeavor and knowledge production is more about discussions, debates, and questions than concrete answers.
#kzoo2019 #s482 @gilbertlisak cites #medievaltwitter as something that made her project possible. There are enough scholars here involved and invested in public outreach!
The Middle Ages: What Does It Have to Do With Me? 🤔🦄🤩

.@dorothyk98 points out that when we have seen glimpses of hands in images of manuscripts, the hands are usually white, but digitizers on big projects (e.g. Google Books) are often WOC. Whose hands/labor is allowed to be seen? #s482 #kzoo2018
