Dear academics, can we abolish conferences and invest in smaller, regional colloquiums and workshops? We can use all the money saved to invest in so many critical causes/orgs related to our collective scholarship. I think we can act with more direct action and urgency.

Octavia E. Butler said, “These novels are not prophetic. These novels are cautionary tales… The problems that I write about are problems that we can do something about. That’s why I write about them.” “I hope they’re not prophecy because I don’t want to live in that world.”
