“…Rejection can be an unpleasant, painful, and demoralizing experience, more so within the context of racial bias. 1,2 Professionals should be appointed to positions through a meritocratic process where the best and most qualified person is selected. It sounds simple, but, unfortunately, it is not always so.…”

“…The impacts are often disproportionately felt by countries and universities with fewer economic resources, exacerbating existing inequalities (Walters 2018). Other barriers experienced by potential attendees include discrimination and/or inaccessibility based on gender (Biggs et al 2018, Jackson 2019, Nicolazzo & Jourian 2020, race (Hughey 2019, Miles et al 2020, nationality (Aguirre 2020), ethnicity (Ford et al 2019, Timperley et al 2020, native language (McCarthy et al 2004), disabilities (De Picker 2020), personality (McCarthy et al 2004, Davis & Warfield 2011, risk of sexual misconduct (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine 2018, Sharoni 2018) and external responsibilities, such as caring for children or other family members (Eckhaus andDavidovitch, 2018, Henderson &Moreau 2020).…”

Academic conferences play an important role in the scientific community by providing an opportunity for researchers to discuss their work and to network. However, drawbacks of traditional face-to-face (F2F) conferences, such as the ostensible exclusion of non-scientists, the substantial environmental footprint, and the large costs in terms of both time and money are increasingly being recognized. As a result, alternative and complementary formats are being explored. One of these is the Twitter conference (TC), in which research is presented and discussed on the social media platform Twitter. Here, we use hashtag and presenter data from several ornithology and ecology conferences (both TCs and F2F events) to explore the potential reach of the tweets and the magnitude of the difference in greenhouse gas emissions between the two conference types. We found that TCs generated greater engagement than F2F events, have the potential to reach a very large audience and result in a substantial reduction in emissions. Further, we argue that the format promotes presenter and audience diversity due to participation being flexible and virtually cost-free. While we recognize some disadvantages of this format compared to F2F events, especially in relation to the social and networking aspects of conferences, we envision that virtual events, such as TCs, will play an important role in the future of science dissemination and outreach. By embracing such opportunities, academic conferences can move towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.

“The Social Antagonism between Whiteness and Antiracism: How and Why White Antiracists lose their Whiteness”

This article depicts two cases of “lost Whiteness” and unintentional racial “passing.” Based on years of ethnographic research, we present the story of two White people who – largely because of their truly-determined commitment to racial justice activism – were thought by others as being or becoming Persons of Color. These activists were not trying to pass. Rather, they are manifestations of a “reverse racial pass,” defined as “any instance in which a person legally recognized as white effectively functions as a non-white person in any quarter of the social arena” (Harper 1998: 382). These two cases illumine the relationships between the ongoing, negotiated process of racial identity formation and antiracist activism in the United States. We argue that Whiteness and antiracism are enmeshed in a paradoxical dynamic: Social emphases on antiracist activism enabled the reception of White activists as People of Color, while conversely, emphases on activists’ Whiteness enabled observers to doubt both their moral commitments and intellectual prowess toward antiracist activism. This dynamic gestures toward the necessity to examine the symbolic and discursive factors undergirding the social construction of “race”, which in turn destabilizes both layperson and scholarly focus on physical appearance and racialization.
