I want to highlight that there has been a lot of work by black women documenting *exactly this* this for years. In addition to @digitalsista, please look for (and credit work by) @so_treu, @sassycrass, @BlackAmazon among many others—and the hashtag. #YourSlipIsShowing. https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1299122016113614850">https://twitter.com/oneunders...

Yesterday, I disagreed with another academic who implied tech criticism as something coming from elite academia. My experience is the opposite. Marginalized scholars have been shouting into the void & mostly being ignored. A few from elite schools are jumping in finally—but late.

As usually happens, the work of marginal scholars is sometimes scattered in hashtags, not in top articles. But— ahem—I& #39;ve seen many praise incoherent and unreadable prose from Ivy professors, so maybe we can show a similar patience to work that& #39;s actually good but not "polished."

When I see mediocre work that had resources put behind it with a big high-status name behind it praised to high haven, and I then look at brilliant, prescient work that just hasn& #39;t had any of that: time to reflect, feedback, editors, a publisher with status and think... what if?

So, the reason to expand who we support with all that— the resources and time necessary to make people& #39;s work more accessible and developed—and then to treat it with due respect and credit isn& #39;t just because of equity concerns. We& #39;re depriving ourselves of excellence *we* need.

Adding this here, an excellent article by some of the history of this research (it& #39;s what it is; this is research) by @heyydnae. https://twitter.com/c_cauterucci/status/1299352296292339713">https://twitter.com/c_cauteru...
