As one of a small group of people (smaller for POCs) who has published significantly in race & disability studies, I get asked to do a lot of unpaid labor in the academy. As a person who struggles to say no, it’s really upsetting when people don’t take my first no as an answer.
White people & senior scholars: please don’t do this. Stop asking marginalized people to do so much work. Witness what we’re already doing. Witness the stress we’re under. And for the love of Beyoncé, don’t push when a multiply marginalized untenured scholar already said no!
Untenured includes contingent folks for me!!! Don’t ask contingent folks do to unpaid labor either!
Note: While this mini thread was promoted by a specific event, it is not the first time white and/or senior scholars have refused to take my no as a no & pushed in messed up ways to get me to do what they want under the semblance of “helping” me/my career.
