Me: Peer review takes a long time, sometimes even 2-3 years. I'm trying to get an article out now and it's taking a whileeee.
Students: What's your article about?

Ayanna Thompson gives a shoutout to Carol Mejia LaPerle for citing young scholars. Cite backward but also cite forward! #raceB4race
Ayanna Thompson on the origin of this symposium: Medieval race studies are now facing what early modern race studies faced in the 90s. If institutional conferences refuse, we will create our own space. #raceB4race
Ayanna Thompson: We have to be disciplinary sluts. Use whatever resources we have to our advantage! #raceB4race
#raceB4race Ayanna Thompson offers closing remarks on Race Before Race 2: let's consider embodiment beyond texts, let's consider the embodiment of scholars of color and the effect on their work.
Ruben Espinosa: Through adaptation works like the Mercy Project, students of color change the imperialist narratives of plays like The Merchant of Venice to recreate a world where Shylock speaks back. #raceb4race
Ruben Espinosa's powerful words about Al Paso: As compelling as Shylock's words might be, his white supremacist world is unchanged. The facade of impartiality in the courtroom, performed by Portia, put him back in his place. The play celebrates this. #raceB4race
