everyone who works with scholarly writing should read this amazing piece by @Nahir_Otano !! 🔥
for those of us who exercise influence over others' scholarship, i hope this prompts more careful reflection on how prescriptive norms of ac writing dis-empower scholars of color
"White academia needs to stop pretending that calls to objectivity, impartiality, and clarity are about rigor—these calls are about power."
On today's #FeedingTheElephant, @Nahir_Otano exposes the myth of objectivity in scholarly writing advice.

Thank you, @catherine_msup, for such a clear untangling of the acronym soup that is OA book publishing. It's very helpful to have a publishing expert figuring out the convoluted activities and providing the overlay of logic.
