Status Updates From Erased: A History of Intern...

Tried to jump ahead to the 1st chapter which was about Aber + begins with mention of a well known prof who friends of mine studied under, but at least at the moment I’m still too bugged that this is a history of study + not the study itself. I picked this up bc it was on the GR challenge list but was excited that I’d get back into IR w/this after not reading it for a while, but this is not it…at least not now

I’m a little frustrated bc it seems it’s not about thought but about IR scholars. And while women’s struggles in academia do interest me, at this moment at least I was more hoping for something about the thought than the ppl engaged in it

When individuals are actively excluded from a part of life they are contributing to so that they are mostly unknown though their fingerprints are everywhere WHY can’t we justly start by identifying them by that which excluded them? Why do we have to debate this when those included are all ones without that trait?

Wahey, looks like a whole chapter on a Aberystwyth and the IR program. I know it’s one of the oldest programs, but seeing it in the ToC did make me jump a bit
Someone questioned this book seeming to only talk about white women, but at least the ToC seems to show clear awareness of race issues in the field. Guess I’ll see what that really means
