If you are presenting at in-person only conferences, which didn't offer accommodations to scholars with children, or scholars with disabilities, or scholars who are high risk right now - you are contributing to academic ableism. 1/4
I really just want non-disabled scholars to acknowledge that some career choices, like in-person conferencing, have an impact on those of us who CAN'T choose to go. Moreover you may be burdening local health sectors with cases that you bring into the new space. 2/4
When you take advantage of opportunities that are not available to all of us in the academy, you actively tell disabled scholars (and many other groups) we don't belong, that our research doesnt matter as much, and that we'll just have to press pause while you speed on ahead. 3/4
I'm tired of trying to spell out what equity looks like. This is not it. And I have no incentive to play to these kids of career standards when they're actively discriminatory. 4/4 #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter
