DESCRIPTION:Please join the Italian Art Society’s Emerging Scholars Co mmittee for the first event in our new series centered on equity and inc lusion in academia! Our open forum discussion\, “Citing Truth to Power : Advancing Equity In &\; Through Academic Footnotes\,” is free and open to all! Wednesday\, June 2 from 12:00-1:00pm Central Time (US Chic ago time).Footnotes are the fundamental building blocks of academic argu ments. They not only validate new ideas\, they also situate us scholars within larger academic conversations and serve as a roadmap for how thos e conversations have developed over time. But this relationship is recip rocal. When appealing to the authority of these previous scholars\, our footnotes also amplify their voices and argue implicitly for what conver sations are worth being had\, and by whom. As a result\, footnotes often serve to reinforce the dominance of a narrow range of (usually European and American\, white\, fully-able\, male) academics\, limiting both the kinds of conversations that can be had within a field as well as who ca n have them. Academic footnotes\, then\, can be shown to do the work of white supremacy.For this reason\, we invite you to our virtual open foru m\, Citing Truth to Power: Advancing Equity in and through Academic Foot notes\, sponsored by the Emerging Scholars Committee of the Italian Art Society. \; By bringing scholars of Italian Art History and related art historical and humanities fields into conversation with each other\, we hope to interrogate what is at stake in both our footnotes and the c itational process. \; Some starting points for our conversation will be:\n\n\n\n· \;  \;  \; How can we open up our footnotes t o include and generate more voices and more academic discourse?· \;  \;  \; What consideration\, if any\, should be given to the pe rsonal identities and misdeeds of the people we cite\, as well as their non-academic views and opinions\, which may or may not come into play in the construction of and biases implicit in their own academic arguments ?· \;  \;  \; How can we be critical about the stakes of ou r citations and still meet editorial demands? Must those demands—and t he demands of our fields—change to accommodate broader and more divers e points of view?\n\n\n\nThe forum will start with brief discussions fro m Dr. Allison Levy\, Dr. Julia Delancey\, and PhD Candidates Angela Zhan g and Christine Zappella. We are also very excited to welcome a represen tative from the Cite Black Women Collective.\n\n\n\nZoom Meeting ID: 874 0164 6870Passcode: 331649 URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.italianartsociety.org/events/citing-truth-to-p ower/ UID:urn:uuid:1254da2f-6303-4bd2-8236-285e7b237722 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260504T202011Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210602T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210602T130000 LOCATION:Virtual via Zoom\nMeeting ID: 874 0164 6870\nPasscode: 331649 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
