So far I have all the obvious annual hashtags, #ASECSShoes #myASECS #ThatCamp #Bigger6 #BIPOC18 #ASECSat50 -- am I missing any, friends?
18C studies forgets how central racial category formation is to the understanding of the 18C. We have special responsibility for addressing these issues in our classroom. Shoutout to #ASECSat50 workshop (rather than RT) on race in teaching organized w/ C.Pichiero & facilitators.
But compared to #ASECSat50 CFP, where:
"race" appeared 37 times, empire (36), indigen* (10), digital (37), science (37), *migra* (9), queer (28), disabil* (25), climate (5), archiv* (47).
The controls: art (52), novel (32), poe* (45), theat* (40), drama (9), periodical (6)
The dawning horror that you likely left your #asecsat50 mug in your hotel room...
I just got back to my desktop, and so was able to check in on my analytics. I feel like my top tweets are representative of my experience of #ASECSat50
I didn't go to #ASECSat50, which is very sad, but folding laundry today I was struck from nowhere by how to completely reframe my introduction and clarify that stakes at the highest level. So, that was nice.
This is my #Asecsat50 reminder that if you are looking for another collaborative, congenial, smaller conference that is looking to think expansively and experimentally about our period, I hope you’ll consider joining us at #behnburney19 this November!
The threads of my version of #ASECSat50 — thinking about race, thinking about silences and gals — come together in @Bethany_Qualls discussion of secret signals in Sansay.
OK, coming up soon: one last roundtable, with me, @Shadowmainzer Whitney Arnold, Lena Zlock, & @Bethany_Qualls talking about representing archival absences. And then it’s all over but the celebrating at #ASECSAT50
I would just like to say that explaining the recent history of @Wizards_DnD , #criticalrole #weneeddiversegames & such from scratch my queer 18C D&D games to 18th century scholars at #ASECSAT50 has been unexpectedly entertaining.
@JuliaFtacek proposing panels for her table at her first @ASECSWomen luncheon! #ASECSAT50
#womenDontAsk #ASECSAT50 @ASECSWomen luncheon tweets covering the panel will continue after it (I took a lot of notes)
#WomenDontAsk @ASECSWomen panel #ASECSat50 #ASECS19 Klekar-Cunnigham: The social context of negotiation matters. Yr relationship now to other people in the department, college, the person with whom you are negotiating. That (not institutional hierarchy) is your power. 9/9
#WomenDontAsk @ASECSWomen panel #ASECSat50 #ASECS19 Klekar-Cunnigham: If part of the information gathering for the negotiation is out of your wheelhouse, delegate it. You are there to present the information and advocate for change. 8/9
#WomenDontAsk @ASECSWomen panel #ASECSat50 #ASECS19 Klekar-Cunnigham: We need to cast our understanding of negotiations and our identities of negotiators more widely. Everyone in this room is an advocate, a leader, problem solver. We need to self-identify as a negotiator 7/9
#WomenDontAsk @ASECSWomen panel #ASECSat50 #ASECS19 Klekar-Cunnigham: Student evaluations often call for her to be “more maternal”; on an otherwise all-male committee, she was expected by others to be a caretaker. Gendered ideas are out there. 6/9
#WomenDontAsk @ASECSWomen panel #ASECSat50 #ASECS19 Klekar-Cunnigham: We understand that it is a social process. We need to challenge the idea that women will both must and might be punished by taking on “masculine” traits of self-advocacy. 5/9
#WomenDontAsk @ASECSWomen panel #ASECSat50 #ASECS19 Klekar-Cunnigham: The person with whom negotiate may tell you that there is only one metaphorical pie and that giving you a slice deprives someone else. Shouldn’t the solution be making more metaphorical pies 4/ 9
#WomenDontAsk @ASECSWomen panel #ASECSat50 #ASECS19 Klekar-Cunnigham: 2) Myth: Women don’t like/aren’t good at negotiating; Fact: is it intimidation or the realization that individual negotiations carry a tremendous responsibility that affects finite resources.3/9
#WomenDontAsk @ASECSWomen panel #ASECSat50 #ASECS19 Klekar-Cunnigham: By being invited to negotiate you have power despite institutional power hierarchies. 2/9
#WomenDontAsk @ASECSWomen panel #ASECSat50 #ASECS19 Cynthia Klekar-Cunnigham “The Social Context of Negotiation” starts with what negotiation is not.
Two misconceptions: 1) Myth: Negotiations are always adversarial; Fact: It is a problem-solving, decision-making situations. 1/9
Good morning! Last day of #ASECSat50 programming — and I’m on first thing & last. Catch me this morning trying out @Mentimeter in a 5 minute presentation, hoping to capture some more data points about how 18C folks think about themselves as data creators:...
And now #ASECSat50 does something Marilyn Francis suspects is new to the conference: 18C Fanfiction. Near and dear to my heart, obvs. (Though I’ll be asking why we don’t say transformative work because I’m an asshole)
#ASECSat50 - this session is a workshop. Leaders will introduce & situate themselves in relation to the topic. Then we will break out into small groups to work with specific examples.
Good morning from #ASECSat50 as a room fills early this morning for the latest Presidential Session: Teaching Race in the 18th Century in the Twenty-First Century Classroom, organized by the ever-enlightening Christy Pichichero & Regulus Allen!
Another Super Dork achievement unlocked: running the 2nd year of #18CDnD — this time in the middle of the damn lobby bar. Thanks to old friends & new for an awesome, ridiculous, delightful game — apparently for the spectators as well ;) #ASECSat50
And now at #asecsat50 -- "Reflections on Using 18th Century Materials in the Digital Age" coordinated by Nan Wolverton and Ashley Cataldo of @AmAntiquarian -- reminder that there is a special @ASECSOffice fellowship there! This is a panel of primarily former fellows.
@lauramstevens speaks directly of #ASECSat50 -- wants to credit current organizers & leadership. At the same time, asks us to consider what it says about ASECS that they asked a White female scholar. What would it take to make this a space comfortable for Indigneous People & POC?
Very sad to miss #ASECSat50 and all my dear friends and colleagues, far too many of you to tag here. You are the best part of the profession. I hope you have a wonderful few days.
Kaul has side note about whether anyone has done any study of the bug-bear -- I cannot escape #DND even when I try) #ASECSat50
