Cultural Appropriation
I have never gone to WisCon , and so I am always grateful afterwards for the many detailed reports on discussions from the convention, and the extensions of those discussions. The one I've been enjoying (and sometimes cringing) reading recently grows out of last year's panel and follow-up discussions of cultural appropriation . There are already a bunch of blog posts involved, but here are the paths in that I've been following: Transcription of this year's panel Oyceter's description and discussion of the panel and the following discussion session K. Tempest Bradford's discussion Separate from the discussions of cultural appropriation (but valuable to look at alongside them), I discovered Robert Philen's post on "Talking About Race" via Reginald Shepherd , who also recently wrote a long and thoughtful post titled "Some Thoughts on Race and Academia" .
