Now that aspiring anti-racist academics are learning they should cite BIPOC scholars, especially women, please note it’s not just WHO you cite but HOW you cite—are BIPOC authors regarded as theorists or just case studies demonstrating the validity of white theorists’ concepts?

I know many academics have wondered what kinds of things they could do as a department to go beyond toothless statements in support of diversity. These folks at the OII have put together a marvelously extensive list here: docs.google.com/document/d/1fn…

I am still trying to find great examples of personal, professional websites, but mine has a new look!: jessefivecoate.com

While #folklore changes all the time, it never goes out of style! Just like Taylor Swift and American Folklore Society #AskaFolklorist #FolkloreThursday

#CFP for an edited collection on #ConspiracyTheory #FolkloreThursday #AskaFolklorist #FolkloreEveryday #AFS365 #folklore #ConspiracyTheories #conspiracy

The accuracy 🤣

Just a friendly reminder that there is still plenty of time to submit an abstract for the volume on #folklore and #conspiracytheory that Dr. Andrea Kitta 🎃 👻 and I are putting together! See tinyurl.com/yydcz2ce for more info. #FolkloreThursday

I'm very excited about #afsam20 and hoping I have the mental capacity to pay attention, live tweet, and do all the stuff I'm supposed to do in the normal course of the week.

I highly recommend! Such a great article.

What if we were more candid about this, that one writing movingly aims to cast a spell, that "spellbinding" is more than a metaphor meant for back-cover blurbs, that there is in fact something uncanny, possessive, even world-bending, in the power of limpid prose?

Vote for Crimelore

Abstracts for the volume on #ConspiracyTheories is due tomorrow! #FolkloreThursday #Folklore #AskAFolklorist #COVID19 #politics #sciencetwitter #History #Humanities #AcademicTwitter #MedTwitter

I'm willing to do anything to finish my dissertation except sit down everyday and write my dissertation.

Concerning the Possession and Unethical Use of the Remains of the Children of MOVE and the Africa Family: A Collective Statement from Assoc4BlackAnthro, Society of Black Archaeologists and The Black in Biological Anthropology Collective You can access it at: aba.americananthro.org

"In the end what counts is offering one's own work as it develops over time as an example of what anthropology is or can be. Each of us, as anthropologists, develops a highly personalized vision of the discipline, and that diversity weaves the fabric of anthropology."

This isn’t good. Folklore has always precariously sat in the academy but we need this program (and more). WKU’s program has trained some of the best folklorists I know and every folklorist has a stake in its continued existence.

I passed my dissertation defense last Friday! I could not have done this without my wonderful committee and my amazing friends. Y’all are the absolute best!!!
