@roopikarisam So "redlining" in this author's mind is a student who preferred to read scholarship from someone who shared their lived experience? And some tweets and comments in a work meeting? Just wow...

[Roopika Risam @roopikarisam]

How horrifying that Inside Higher Ed is platforming an anonymous essay that appropriates redlining for a strawperson argument about the oppression of white faculty. (That begins, no less, with the academic equivalent of "my best friend is Black.") https://t.co/oATCyzHk65

Libraries developed in the Islamic Golden Age due to a commitment to literacy & seeking knowledge. One of the oldest libraries in the world Al-Qarawiyyin library, was founded by a Muslim woman, more than 12 centuries ago!

A thread on the greatest libraries in Islamic history…
