So many great anthropological observations coming out of #SAA2019 the past couple of days. why did i not attend? I study white scientists. IDEAL FIELD SITE. it kills me to think of the data lost. thank god for social media!
Actually i study racially diverse scientists who objectify Indigenous people as objects of their gaze without standing with us. i've see POC scientists treat us like that too. FYI "standing with" is a technical term. and yes, i stand with anti-racist, anti-colonial scientists.
here is the article in which i describe "standing with" as a methodological approach. thanks to Neferti Tadiar for informing my thoughts in this article. jrp.icaap.org/index.php/jrp/…
if you'd rather watch/listen to these ideas here is a video of a talk i gave on this subject at the 2016 @UAlberta Indigenous Feminisms symposium, an annual event in edmonton. vimeo.com/162542978
oh and apologies for the ableist language i use at one point. i have learned since 2016 not to do that. of course i still slip up occasionally, but i keep working at it as i work at one other challenging language transition, getting away from gender binarism.
