Reflecting on recent feedback for our Rejected JoterĂa session proposal to @aeraqueersig frustrating how QTBIPOC scholarship continues to face gatekeeping disguised as “review.” As the SIG chair, I assembled this proposal with the SIG’s guidelines in mind, yet…
Reviewer 2 & 3 saw the value of the session and noted its potential for a special issue or edited volume. They appreciated its cohesive use of theory and its value for audience reflection. This thoughtful engagement contrasts starkly with Reviewer 1’s dismissive, biased take.
Not having people “familiar” with QTBIPOC frameworks isn’t an excuse. A basic Google search would’ve given these external reviewers a starting point. If you claim to understand gender and sexuality in research, it’s your job to engage with these frameworks thoughtfully.
Yet the external reviewers for the Queer SIG—those who claim to know gender and sexuality—fell short. Let me repeat: this wasn’t the Queer SIG but external SIG reviewers handling conflicts of interest, as I am the SIG chair. #QueerEd#TransStudies#AERA2024
All of a sudden is “60% of Latinx/Latine voted for Trump”
No sweethearts it’s the Latinos and Latinas for Trump because you prefer misogyny and racism over one letter that makes you think it’s changing your way of life.
