Delores, thanks so much for your comment--really thoughtful. I think what you're pointing out is fantastic; the simple need to provide an open, free infrastructure to allow activists safe havens and to collaborate. I wonder how we at postcolonial digital humanities can start to undertake providing such an infrastructure. Is this a Kickstarter project? Is state funding suspect? Who should be a hosting provider? What are the politics of hosting providers?
Great resources Michelle! Question--could you explain the nature of those Twitter arguments? What are the terms of discussion? What are people saying against activism to "succeed" in academia, and what counterarguments have you heard of? Inquiring minds. :)
