<P><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Although I've already added not just my two cents but maybe a nickel to this important discussion, here's another brief comment. Sugie raises important points—and I like the fact that we're still discussing my wonderful friend and mentor Sharon Crowley's incisive critique. My answer, to Sugie and Sharon and to myself when I have to look in the mirror (that might reflect injustice) and go to work in the morning, is that (a) it's better that we are working in the midst of injustice, even within unjust institutions, and working to change them; and (b) the ultimate effect of bringing BW students into these institutions is that the normalizing force of "academic discourse" can be subverted by the voices and the lives of those who bring their experience and reality to academic sites, hybridizing the old academic discourse and changing it, de-norming it. </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">That doesn't happen always, or easily, or justly, or the same everywhere. But without BW practitioners and BW students, it likely doesn't happen at all. So as long as we are working to change and subvert institutions—actively, riskily, but not inconsequentially—my guess (I say "guess" to assure all that I don't claim to be sure) is that being here is more likely to make justice than being gone.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Good, important, complicated discussion. Yes, I want to be in a session on this; I'm not committed to any other session yet. It would be great to have Sharon as chair or respondent, but she is retiring from ASU and we had kind of a end-of-career party with her at CCCC in New Orleans and she may not want to attend in 2009; I can certainly ask her—and seeing this thread might kindle her interest… </SPAN></FONT></P>
